An Analysis of the Effectiveness of Carbimazole as an Immunosuppressant for Managing Thyrotoxicosis

Abstract This paper investigates the relative effectiveness of two antithyroid drugs, Carbimazole and Propylthiouracil, in treating hyperthyroidism, a common form of thyrotoxicosis. While extensive research has been conducted on the mechanisms of each drug individually, there has been limited comparative research and research addressing patient well-being. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap by employing both qualitative and quantitative methods, including an extensive literature review and a case study. The results suggest that Carbimazole is the more effective drug, requiring lower dosages and causing fewer side effects. Moreover, Carbimazole is associated with a lower incidence of allergic reactions compared to Propylthiouracil, making it a safer option for the majority of patients. However, patients treated with Propylthiouracil are less likely to relapse. Overall, while Carbimazole is generally considered the safer and more effective treatment for most hyperthyroid patients, the most appropriate treatment depends on individual factors such as age, gender, and medical history.
