    Glossary Methimazole

    medication treating overactive thyroid by inhibiting hormone production

    Methimazole is a medication used to treat hyperthyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. It works by inhibiting the production of these hormones, helping to normalize thyroid function. This drug is often prescribed for conditions like Graves' disease and can be a crucial part of managing symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, weight loss, and anxiety.
