Hello, Thanks for the query.
As regards the treatment of hyperthyroidism with methimazole, dosage can be once a day or 2 to 3 divided doses. If the dose is more (30 to 40 mg which may be needed initially in severe hyperthyroidism), then it is given in divided doses. If maintenance dose is there which may be given once a day.
If dizziness or vertigo are troublesome then it is better to consult your local doctor or an ENT specialist and initiate specific treatment.
Treatment with Methimazole is usually given for 18 months to 24 months, then stopped. In many cases remission occurs and may remain for long time. But if hyperactivity recurrs, then either surgery of radio active iodine are other treatments considered. Thanks.
