| Effects of propylthiouracil, propranolol, and vitamin E on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in hyperthyroid patients. |
| Some people with hyperthyroidism receive antithyroid drugs such as propylthiouracil or methimazole. |
| Drugs that have been implicated include penicillin, aminopenicillins, sulfonamides, allopurinol, thiazides, quinolones, hydantoins, and propylthiouracil. |
| Thirty-one of the patients with hyperthyroidism were treated with carbimazole or propylthiouracil. |
| The patient remained thyrotoxic with continuing fevers and worsening encephalopathy, and hence his methimazole was changed to propylthiouracil. |
| Use propylthiouracil, if available, as the first-line drug for treatment of hyperthyroidism during the first trimester. |
