Hi,
Sore throat and ulcers are not typically listed as common side effects of Carbimazole, a medication used to treat hyperthyroidism. However, any medication can potentially cause side effects, and some people may experience rare or unusual reactions to a drug.
The symptoms you are experiencing, such as recurrent urine infections, thrush, headache, and back pain, may be related to your hyperthyroidism or other underlying health conditions. Discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider, who can help determine the cause and appropriate treatment is important.
If you are concerned that your symptoms may be related to Carbimazole, your healthcare provider can also evaluate whether a different medication or dosage adjustment may be necessary. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions for taking Carbimazole and to report any unusual or concerning symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
