Introduction

CARBIZOLE 10 is a prescription medication containing Carbimazole 10 mg, used primarily in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, also known as an overactive thyroid.

Composition Details

Carbimazole 10 mg

• Class: Antithyroid drug (Thioamide)

• Mechanism of Action: Carbimazole is converted into methimazole in the body, which blocks thyroid peroxidase, an enzyme crucial for thyroid hormone synthesis (T3 and T4).

Carbimazole Uses (CARBIZOLE 10)

Tab Carbimazole 10 mg uses include:

• Management of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland)

How Does CARBIZOLE 10 Work?

CARBIZOLE 10 contains Carbimazole, which gets converted into methimazole in the body. Methimazole inhibits the enzyme thyroid peroxidase, which is essential for the production of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

By reducing the synthesis of these hormones, Carbimazole normalizes thyroid hormone levels, alleviates symptoms of hyperthyroidism, and stabilizes the patient’s metabolic rate.

Dosage and Administration

• Starting Dose: Usually 10–30 mg/day, depending on the severity of hyperthyroidism.

• Maintenance Dose: Once thyroid levels normalize, dose is reduced to 5–15 mg/day.

• Route: Oral

• Frequency: Once or twice daily after meals or as prescribed

• Duration: Treatment may continue for 6–18 months or longer depending on clinical response.

Important: Dose must be tailored based on regular TSH, T3, and T4 levels. Do not alter or discontinue without physician approval.
