Propylthiouracil 50 mg (Generic)

Propylthiouracil 50 mg (Generic) is an effective antithyroid medicine prescribed for the management of hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease. It works by blocking the overproduction of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) in the thyroid gland, helping to restore hormonal balance and relieve symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, tremors, weight loss, and anxiety.

This medication may also be used before thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine therapy to stabilize thyroid hormone levels. Propylthiouracil is usually taken orally as directed by a healthcare professional.

Important Note: Regular monitoring of thyroid function, liver health, and blood counts is essential during treatment. It should be taken only under medical supervision, as it may cause rare but serious side effects, including liver injury and low white blood cell count.
