A member asked:

Have graves disease. dr reduced dose of tapezole(5 mg) from once every other day to twice/week because my thyroid hormones are normal. good idea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metimazole: I think it depends on what your TSH measurements were doing on the every other day dosing . If they were trending upward then you md may have decreased your dose to make sure your TSH does get above the normal range. Hope this helps.
