Understanding Methimazole: Your Thyroid's Best Friend
Methimazole (also known as Thiamazole) is a trusted anti-thyroid medication that has been helping Filipinos manage hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), Graves' disease, and thyroid storm for decades. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition, you can be confident this is a government-approved, evidence-based treatment for thyroid disorders.
How Methimazole Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your thyroid is like a car engine that's revving too high. Methimazole acts like a "smart brake" system—it blocks the thyroid peroxidase enzyme that your thyroid needs to produce hormones. This helps:
- Reduce excess thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) in your body
- Calm symptoms like rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and weight loss
- Prepare your thyroid for surgery or radioactive iodine treatment
- Prevent dangerous complications like thyroid storm

Mahalagang Impormasyon sa Tagalog
Methimazole: Ang Maaasahang Kaibigan ng Iyong Thyroid
Ang Methimazole (kilala rin bilang Thiamazole) ay isang anti-thyroid na gamot na matagal nang tinatagalan ng mga Pilipino para sa hyperthyroidism (sobrang aktibong thyroid), Graves' disease, at thyroid storm. Ayon sa Philippine National Formulary (8th Edition), ito ay aprubado ng DOH bilang essential medicine para sa thyroid disorders.
Paano Gumagana ang Methimazole?
Isipin na ang iyong thyroid ay isang makina na sobrang bilis tumakbo. Ang Methimazole ay parang "smart brake"—pinipigilan nito ang enzyme na kailangan ng thyroid para gumawa ng hormones. Resulta: bumababa ang sobrang thyroid hormones, nawawala ang palpitations at anxiety, at nagiging normal ulit ang metabolism.
