Carbimazole is used to treat hyperthyroidism. It prevents the peroxidase enzyme from coupling and iodinating the tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin, hence reducing the T3/T4.

Getting there with this
Working / Worked
Found it caused massive weight gain and super drug sensitive to it even in small doses...itching too
Working / Worked
Have been on Carbimazole since December 2007. started off on 20mg daily, then 15 mg, then 10 mg, then 5 mg, now nothing, as my T4, T3 and TSH levels are all normal as of August 2008. I had about 4 months of worrying hair loss but that slowed down and then stopped when my hormone levels normalised. Looks like pregnancy triggered my Graves', and it will probably crop up again with future pregnancies.

My treatment (blocking treatment) worked but isn't long term. I should have only been on meds for 1yr and ended up being on it for 2yrs - my consultant is now doing what I asked him to do 6 months ago. I had no side effects apart from my weight yo yoing up and down, putting on 3 kilos and then losing it so always having to buy/wear smaller larger clothing.
