Propylthyracil is a medication used to treat certain medical conditions, primarily autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. It belongs to a class of drugs known as immune-suppressants as anti-thyroid agent. PTU works by decreasing the amount of thyroid hormones produced in the body, which can reduce symptoms such as rapid heart rate, sweating, and weight loss.
Propylthiouracil (PTU) is a prescription drug used to treat hyperthyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. It is a medication used to treat certain conditions in adults, such as hyperthyroidism, Grave’s disease, and thyroid cancer. It is a common choice for treating thyroid disorders due to its low cost and effectiveness in managing symptoms.
Take Propylthiouracil tablets by mouth as directed by your doctor. Usually, it is taken three times a day, every eight hours. Carefully follow the directions on your prescription label and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part that you do not understand. Take Propylthiouracil exactly as directed, without taking more or less of it or taking it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Once your condition is under control, your doctor may decrease your dose of Propylthiouracil. Even if you feel well, continue to take the medication, and do not stop taking it without talking to your doctor.
The usual adult starting dose of propylthiouracil is 50Â mg to 100Â mg every 8 hours, with increases as necessary up to a maximum of 500Â mg daily or as directed by your doctor. When doses larger than 300Â mg per day are needed, the medication should be taken every 4 to 6 hours. Children’s doses are based on their body weight.
