Methimez 5 Tablet 30

Methimez 5 Tablet is used for the management of hyperthyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland produces excessive hormones. It is also used to prepare patients for thyroid surgery and radioactive iodine therapy, helping control the overactive thyroid gland before these treatments.

Here's how you should take Methimez 5 Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Tablets should not be crushed or chewed.

• Always remember, do not alter the dose or stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.

Methimez 5 Tablet is taken orally.

Methimez 5 Tablet contains methimazole (5 mg). Here's how it works:

• Inhibits Thyroid Peroxidase: Methimazole blocks an enzyme known as thyroid peroxidase in your body. This enzyme is crucial in producing thyroid hormones (T3 and T4).

• Decreases Thyroid Hormone Production: By blocking the activity of thyroid peroxidase, methimazole reduces the synthesis and release of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland. This action helps manage the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

• Store Methimez 5 Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 15°C to 30°C.

• Keep the medicine in its original, tightly closed container.

• Protect it from excessive light and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Use this medicine before the expiry date mentioned on the pack.

• Since Methimez 5 Tablet is used to manage hyperthyroidism, try to consume a balanced diet with adequate iodine content. Foods rich in iodine include seafood, dairy products, and iodised salt. However, avoid overconsumption as it could interfere with your medication.

• Regular exercise can also help manage symptoms of hyperthyroidism. A routine involving low-intensity activities like walking or yoga can support overall well-being and stress management without causing undue strain on your heart, which can be affected by high thyroid hormone levels.
