Kirstylstocks If you have a look at the important Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) that comes with your tablets, you will read something like the following, which will give you a good reference point:

Stop taking Carbimazole tablets and tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• angioedema, a serious allergic reaction with symptoms

that may include swollen tongue, lips, face or throat

• lung problems, with symptoms that include shortness of

breath or cough

• kidney problems, with symptoms that include a

reduction in the amount of urine passed, fluid retention

and blood in the urine

• sore throat

• mouth ulcers

• high temperature or fever

• significant tiredness

• increased bruising or bleeding tendency

• you are feeling generally unwell or think that you may have an infection

• Deadly skin disease (TENS or Stevens-Johnson Syndrome). Symptoms of these will include cough, aching, headaches, feverishness, red rash across the face and the trunk of the body.
