Tapazole (methimazole) is going to reduce your hyperthyroidism symptoms. Medications might be the only thing that you may require in the long run if any other organic thyroid problems are rules out. In any case, the first priority would be to reduce the symptoms. I would have recommended my patient to go ahead with low doses of Tapazole. Pros - Symptoms usually reduces - Medication might be the only thing you might need Cons - Side effects may occur but difficult to predict beforehand As you see the pros outweigh the cons; you can discuss the above information with your doctor and get the prescription. I hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day.
