Intense salty taste that doesn't go away
I was on
propylthiouracil
450mg a day until 3 weeks ago when my endocrinologist lowered the dose to 150mg a day. Since then, I have experienced a terrible salty taste in my mouth that doesn't go away. I feel like my saliva is thicker and something like dry mouth.

Propylthiouracil
I have advised to now stop
Propylthiouracil
as my thyroid levels were normal. I stopped this 3-weeks ago and wonder how long it would take to leave the system?

subclinical hyperthyroidism
I’ve now been on
Propylthiouracil
50mg for about 7 weeks and feel ok on them. Had my blood result yesterday and my TSH is ‘just in’ normal range again and T4 and T3 moved down a bit so all looking good so far. Wondering how long I can stay on this medication for?

Blood test results. Any help appreciated
I am currently on 50mg of
propylthiouracil
a day (started this dose on the 26th of September) I am just a bit confused with the results and how I'm feeling, I get chest pains which are very hard to explain, doctors say it's anxiety.

Carbimazole/PTU Alert Card
The British Thyroid Foundation has produced, and is recommending, an alert card for those taking anti-thyroid medicines (Carbimazole or
Propylthiouracil
). https://www.btf-thyroid.org/antithyroid-drugs-alert-card I fully endorse the need for such a card.

Help with questions for Endocrinologist
I was prescribed 100mg of
Propylthiouracil
. This was reduced to 50mg a day at my next check in (I can't remember when this was but not too long after diagnosis).

Do I take anti-thyroid medication? Looking for advice
Take anti thyroid medication of
propylthiouracil
to see if this gets my levels back within range. I have several concerns: - Will starting medication mean I am going to be on meds for the rest of my life? - I’ve heard it can make you hypo then it’s more meds to rectify this?

Tablets not working
They have put me on
propylthiouracil
. I have been on these for 3 months and I am not feeling any different. I feel worse. My chest hurts from beating and that's with propranolol 4x a day.

First endo appointment
I’ve been taking
propylthiouracil

New to site and would like some advice on results
I took nothing for 5 weeks had more bloods taken then was put on
propylthiouracil
50mgs daily. I now believe that I’ve gone hypo again. I’m due more bloods at the end of the month. It appears I am flipping between hyper & hypo!! Is this possible? I just want to feel well again.

Over the phone appointments - TSH 2.0 on 100mg Propylthiouracil reduce to 50mg.
Hi after being on 100mg
Propylthiouracil
for just over 1 year (I reacted badly to Carbimazole prior to this with a horrendous rash), my endocrinologist has written to say my TSH is 2.0 and to reduce to 50mg per day for the next six weeks and have bloods taken again.

Can anyone decipher my recent thyroid bloods please
My TSH is 1.7 T4 14.4 T3 3.8 I was taking
Propylthiouracil
50mg twice a day and have now been advised by the consultant to drop down to 50mg once a day. Does this mean I am sub clinical hypothyroid now and will this delay my embryo transfer in the new year?
