Evaluation: Ptu (propylthiouracil) is typically taken 3 times daily. Although your total dose of 350 mg is not excessive, it should be divided up throughout the day. One of the possible side effects of ptu (propylthiouracil) is a type of drug related hepatitis. This could cause right upper abdominal pain. You should get this evaluated by your doctor.
