Dosage
The dosage of Propycil 50mg Tablets will be determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual condition, age, weight, and response to treatment. The usual starting dose for adults is 300-450 mg daily, divided into three doses every 8 hours. Your doctor may adjust your dosage as needed to achieve optimal control of your thyroid function.
Mechanism of Action
Propylthiouracil, the active ingredient in Propycil 50mg Tablets, works by inhibiting the synthesis of thyroid hormones in the thyroid gland. It does this by blocking the enzyme thyroperoxidase, which is essential for the production of thyroid hormones. By reducing the production of these hormones, Propylthiouracil helps to manage the symptoms of hyperthyroidism and restore normal thyroid function.
