A member asked:

Does neo-mercazole affect weight (being gained) when using it to treat graves?

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Neo-mercazole: may cause other side effects, weight gain per see isn't a known side effect, however, at times over treatment may cause rather hypothyroidism, which can result in weight gain, not counting the other common causes for weight gain, best wishes
