Neo-Mercazole 5 Tablet contains carbimazole (5 mg) which has the following actions on the body:

• Thyroperoxidase Inhibition: Carbimazole blocks an enzyme called thyroperoxidase. This enzyme is responsible for producing thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), so by blocking it, carbimazole helps reduce the levels of these hormones in your body.

• Reduction of Thyroid Hormone Production: The main function of carbimazole is to reduce the production of thyroid hormones. It does this by inhibiting the synthesis of these hormones in the thyroid gland. This helps control the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

• Store Neo-Mercazole 5 Tablet in a cool and dry place

• Store the medicine at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.

• Keep it away from direct light and moisture.

• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach and sight of children.

• Pay attention to the expiry date on the package and avoid using the medicine beyond this date.

• Managing stress can help control symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Practice relaxation techniques such as yoga or deep breathing exercises to help reduce stress levels.

• A balanced diet is essential. Include foods high in calcium and vitamin D like dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fish in your daily diet as hyperthyroidism can deplete these nutrients. Always consult your doctor for personalised dietary advice.
