Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I heard that tapazole should not be used for long term. I was taken off the drug 3 times in 8years and return to hyperthyroid and end up back on the drug. At times I go hypo gain a lot of weight then jump back to hyperthyroid and back on the drug. I need to know what can be done for me or should I be put on something differerent. Or get rid of the thyroid. I need to know if tapazole is not meant for long term use. thank you.
