About Tapazole (Methimazole)

Uses and Benefits of Tapazole (Methimazole)

Tapazole (Methimazole) is indicated for patients with Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism or toxic multinodular goiter when surgery or radioactive iodine therapy is not an option. It also helps manage hyperthyroidism symptoms before thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine treatment.

Ingredients in Tapazole (Methimazole)

The active ingredient in Tapazole is methimazole. Inactive ingredients include lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, potato starch, and talc.

How to Take Tapazole (Methimazole)?

Follow your doctor’s prescription exactly.

Take Tapazole (Methimazole) by mouth, usually in 3 divided doses every 8 hours.

For adults, the starting dose depends on severity. The initial daily dose is 15 mg for mild hyperthyroidism, 30-40 mg for moderate hyperthyroidism, and 60 mg for severe hyperthyroidism, divided into 3 doses every 8 hours. The maintenance dose is 5-15 mg daily.

For children, the initial daily dose is 0.4 mg/kg of body weight, divided into 3 doses and taken every 8 hours. The maintenance dose is about half of the initial dose.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not take extra to make up for a missed dose.

In case of overdose, contact a healthcare provider, hospital, or Poison Control Center immediately, even if there are no symptoms.

Safety Precautions

Before you take Tapazole (Methimazole), tell your healthcare provider if you have a fever, sore throat, or rash. Let them know if you take medicines that affect white blood cells or have a bleeding disorder. If you are scheduled for surgery, your doctor may need to check your prothrombin time.

Your doctor may monitor your white blood cell count to check for agranulocytosis. Regular thyroid tests help ensure the correct dose. Methimazole may increase bleeding risk, especially when taken with anticoagulants like warfarin.

Methimazole can affect how your body processes beta-blockers, digitalis, and theophylline. Your doctor may lower the dose of these medicines once your thyroid levels stabilize.

Animal studies show high doses of methimazole can cause thyroid problems, but it is unclear if this applies to humans. Methimazole may harm an unborn baby, especially in the first trimester. If you take it during pregnancy, use the lowest dose possible.

Methimazole passes into breast milk but usually has little effect on nursing infants. Your baby’s thyroid function should be monitored regularly. Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
