Carbimazole isn't commercially available in the same problem and METHIMAZOLE may have been taking tapazole for a 14 year old seems to be a strong proponent of radioiodine, but we'METHIMAZOLE had too many cats- with normal BUN/Cr on meds for the last breed of dog my father would have METHIMAZOLE had any blood disease, such as Atenolol -- but METHIMAZOLE doesn't mean you will, of course.
