Overview

Methimazole, also known as thiamazole, is a medication primarily used to treat hyperthyroidism, including Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, and thyrotoxic crisis. It is a cyclic thiourea derivative that works by decreasing the production of thyroid hormones.

Uses

Methimazole is used in both human and veterinary medicine. In humans, it is taken orally to manage hyperthyroidism. In veterinary settings, it is used to treat hyperthyroidism in cats.

Regulatory

Methimazole is available by prescription only in several countries, including the US, Australia, and Canada. It was approved for medical use in the United States in 1950 and is listed on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.

Monitoring

Patients taking Methimazole should be monitored for symptoms of agranulocytosis, a severe side effect characterized by a significant drop in white blood cell count. Regular blood tests are recommended to ensure safe usage.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Common side effects include itchiness, hair loss, nausea, muscle pain, swelling, and abdominal pain. Severe side effects may include low blood cell counts, liver failure, and vasculitis. Methimazole is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy due to the risk of congenital anomalies.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

There is limited information on the environmental impact of Methimazole. However, as with all pharmaceuticals, it is essential to dispose of Methimazole properly to avoid contamination of water sources and harm to wildlife.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and storage of Methimazole are crucial to ensure safety. It should be stored in a cool, dry place and kept out of reach of children and pets. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical attention immediately.

Regulation

Methimazole is regulated as a prescription medication in many countries. It is essential to follow local regulations and guidelines for its use and disposal.
