Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Tell your doctor immediately if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or may become pregnant. Propylthiouracil may be selected early in pregnancy in some cases, but it requires close medical supervision because it can affect the mother and developing baby.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Propylthiouracil passes into breast milk in small amounts. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding so the need for treatment and the infant's health can be monitored.

Driving

Driving

If you feel dizzy, drowsy, weak, or unwell, avoid driving and operating machinery.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Ask your doctor whether alcohol is suitable, especially because this medicine can cause serious liver problems.

Directions for Use

Take this tablet as prescribed and swallow it whole with sufficient water. Do not change or stop treatment without medical advice.

Storage and disposal

Store the tablets in a tightly closed container at room temperature and protect them from moisture. Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of unused tablets as advised by a pharmacist.

Quick Tips

  • Keep all thyroid blood-test appointments advised by your doctor.
  • Report fever or a sore throat promptly.
  • Do not share PTU with anyone else.

Dosage

Overdose

An overdose may cause nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, headache, fever, joint pain, itching, or a serious fall in blood cell counts. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Propylthiouracil reduces the production of thyroid hormones and also reduces conversion of one thyroid hormone into another form in the body.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way propylthiouracil works or are affected when thyroid function changes. Tell your doctor about all medicines, supplements, and herbal products you use. In particular, mention blood thinners such as warfarin, beta blockers, digoxin, and theophylline.
