Hyperthyroidism: Propylthiouracil

Is anyone taking Proylthiouracil (PTU) to treat hyperthyroidism? and if so what are your experiences with this drug? i am hesitant to take it had a bad reaction to carbimazole.

Hi true

What reaction did you have to carb?

?

I started coughing up blood and had really bad joint paint where i could barely walk.

Did the dr definitely say that it was due to carb? Had u had a pulmonary embolism?

 

Yes GP confirmed as i was fine before it only took it for 2 weeks and symptoms went after i stopped taking it

Thank  goodness for that.

​How long ago did this happen?

18 months ago. Have you ever taken PTU delirious?

True

no I haven't. I do not have an experience of this drug at all. Sorry.
