CAS 22232-54-8: Carbimazole
Description:Carbimazole is an antithyroid medication primarily used to treat hyperthyroidism, particularly in conditions such as Graves' disease. It functions by inhibiting the synthesis of thyroid hormones, thereby reducing their levels in the body. Chemically, carbimazole is classified as a thioamide and is a prodrug that is converted into its active form, methimazole, in the body. It has a molecular formula that includes carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur, reflecting its thioamide structure. Carbimazole is typically administered orally and is known for its relatively rapid onset of action. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, skin rashes, and, in rare cases, agranulocytosis, a potentially serious decrease in white blood cell count. Monitoring of thyroid function and blood counts is essential during treatment. The substance is generally well-tolerated, but its use requires careful consideration of potential interactions with other medications and individual patient factors. As with any medication, it is important to follow a healthcare provider's guidance when using carbimazole.
