Neo-Mercazole 20 Tablet

Description

Product Description:

Neo-Mercazole 20 Tablet is an antithyroid medicine used in the management of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland) and Graves’ disease. It works by reducing the production of thyroid hormones, helping to restore hormonal balance and relieve associated symptoms such as weight loss, heat intolerance, irritability, and tremors.

Doctors may prescribe Neo-Mercazole 20 before thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine treatment to normalize thyroid function. It is typically used under strict medical supervision with regular monitoring of thyroid hormone levels and blood counts.
