Carbimazole

An antithyroid drug for hyperthyroidism: it is a prodrug that the body turns into methimazole, which blocks thyroid peroxidase and reduces thyroid hormone production. Described in 1951 by Alexander Lawson, C. Rimington and C. E. Searle, it is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. This family brings together the active ingredient and labelled standards.

Did you know?It acts quickly on the thyroid, but blood hormone levels fall more slowly: the stores of hormone already made and kept in the gland must be used up first.
