Carbimazole

My recent prescription was for 15mg tablets, which I think is something new.

They look very similar to the salmon-coloured 20 mg tablets, so if you are taking 15 or 30 mg/day, best check what you’ve been given.

It must be new as mine have always been 20,10 or 5 and have had to take a combination🤔

I’ve never even seen 10mg ! Should save a lot of faff, and may in some cases encourage a more gradual reduction
