Metirox 10mg – Effective Control of Overactive Thyroid (Hyperthyroidism)
Description:
Metirox 10mg Tablets contain methimazole, an antithyroid medication used to treat hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland). It works by inhibiting the production of thyroid hormones, helping to restore normal hormone levels and reduce symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, weight loss, sweating, and anxiety.
In Nigeria, Metirox is commonly prescribed for patients with Graves’ disease or other forms of hyperthyroidism, either as a long-term treatment or before thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine therapy. It is NAFDAC-approved and available through trusted pharmacies like Sanlive, ensuring safe and effective thyroid management under medical supervision.
Important: This is a prescription-only medication. Regular monitoring of thyroid function and blood counts is required during treatment.
