Caibimazole, commonly marketed as CARBIZOLE 5, is an antithyroid medication used to manage hyperthyroidism. This condition arises from an overactive thyroid gland producing excessive thyroid hormones, leading to symptoms like weight loss, heat intolerance, and anxiety.

How Does It Work

• Inhibits Thyroid Hormone Synthesis: Caibimazole interferes with the production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) by blocking the thyroid peroxidase enzyme.
• Reduces Thyroid Activity: By limiting hormone production, it helps in gradually reducing the overactivity of the thyroid gland.

Uses of Caibimazole (5mg)

• Treatment of Hyperthyroidism: Primary use for reducing thyroid hormone levels.
• Preparation for Thyroid Surgery: Helps in stabilizing thyroid hormone levels preoperatively.
• Management of Graves' Disease: Used in conjunction with other treatments to manage this autoimmune disorder.
