Methimazole: Methimazole is a thinoamide, which is a medication that inhibits the production of thyroid hormone in the thyroid gland. As a result your TSH should go up and your t3 (liothyronine) ; T4 should go down. It frequently needs to be titrated to maintain correct levels and depending on your cause of hyperthyroidism, can help induce an immunologic remission so you may not need the medicine for a time.
