Methimazole 10mg Tablet

Meth Antizole-10 is known as an antithyroid medication. Methimazole is used to reduce thyroid hormone production by the thyroid gland. It works by preventing thyroid peroxidase. That is an enzyme essential for the synthesis of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). This action slowly lowers the circulating thyroid hormone levels. It helps restore hormonal balance in an overactive thyroid.
