Why agranulocytosis occur in carbimazole therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is a rare: But well reported concern for this medication. The specific mechanism is not well worked out, but as thyroid disease is autoimmune, patients may be a set up for a second immune related problem with granulocyte production.
