Anti-Thyroid Therapy

Propylthiouracil

Prescription treatment for hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease.

Propylthiouracil (PTU) is an anti-thyroid medication used to manage hyperthyroidism, including Graves’ disease. It works by inhibiting thyroid hormone synthesis and blocking the conversion of T4 to T3, helping control symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, tremors, and anxiety. PTU is especially used when other treatments are not suitable, or during the first trimester of pregnancy when methimazole is contraindicated.
