Reference Information Only

Adults:
Initial dose: 20-60 mg daily, given in 2-3 divided doses until the patient becomes euthyroid; the total daily amount should be split across doses rather than taken all at once. Maintenance regimen: once thyroid function normalizes, the dose is gradually lowered, usually settling at 5-15 mg/day, which can then be taken as a single daily dose. Neonates and children below 12 years: the usual initial dose is 250 mcg/kg/day, given in divided doses. Duration of treatment is typically 18 to 24 months.
Side Effects
Side effects may include rash, itching, skin pigmentation changes, tingling sensations, hives, headache, joint pain, and gastro-intestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, and gastric discomfort, as well as unusual hair loss. There have also been reports of drug fever, a lupus-like syndrome, vasculitis and nephritis, liver disorders (most commonly jaundice), and taste disturbances following Carbiroid therapy.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Carbiroid should be given with the utmost caution, or not at all, if there is any degree of tracheal obstruction, since high dosages may cause the thyroid gland to enlarge, and obstructive symptoms may become pronounced.
Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity to carbimazole or other thiourea antithyroid drugs.
