Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected, and now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. I am wondering if taking Propylthiouracil tablets is suitable for hyperthyroidism.Doctor's answer:
Hello,, Thiourea is an antithyroid drug used to treat hyperthyroidism. Generally, treatment begins with a low dose, and thyroid function is rechecked every 2-4 weeks. The dosage is adjusted based on the stability of thyroid function. Due to its side effects of causing leukocytosis and liver function damage, it is important to monitor blood routine and liver function regularly during medication.
