Product Overview

Methimazole, developed as a key therapeutic for hyperthyroidism, has a long history as a trusted medication in thyroid care. It functions by inhibiting the production of thyroid hormones, offering a non-surgical option for patients with overactive thyroid conditions like Graves’ disease. Its introduction marked a significant improvement in patient outcomes due to fewer side effects compared to earlier antithyroid drugs. Despite its efficacy, rare reports have raised concerns about its potential to cause acute pancreatitis. A comprehensive study using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Program examined this risk and found no substantial link between methimazole use and pancreatitis, reaffirming its role as a safe and effective treatment for thyroid disorders.
