Mechanism of Action of Carkozom 5 Carbimazole Tablets IP 5mg
Inhibition of Thyroid Hormone Synthesis: Carbimazole works by blocking the enzyme thyroid peroxidase, which is involved in the production of thyroid hormones. This reduction in hormone synthesis helps lower the levels of circulating thyroid hormones, alleviating the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Immune Modulation: In conditions like Graves' disease, which involves an autoimmune component, Carbimazole may help reduce the production of antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland.
