Tablets - 50 mg
Propylthiouracil inhibits the synthesis of thyroid hormones and thus is effective in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. It does not inactivate existing thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), nor does it interfere with the effectiveness of exogenous thyroid hormones. Propylthiouracil partially inhibits the conversion of (T4) to (T3) in peripheral tissues.
Propiltiouracil is indicated in hyperthyroidism.
