My endo prescribe me 5 mg tapazole (methimazole) should i stop taking omega 3, vit ? is there any natural treatment for grave desease ? i am scared with medication
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Grave's Disease: You should not have any fears of taking tapazole (methimazole). The medication has been around for over 30 years and works well for the treatment of grave's disease. There are no proven natural treatments for grave's disease. You should not stop omega 3s or vitamins, however, during your treatments. The disorder should resolve in 1-2 years and you should no longer need the tapazole (methimazole). Do not fear taking this.
