Propylthiouracil Pharmacology Podcast

In this podcast episode, I cover propylthiouracil pharmacology, adverse effect, drug interaction, and much more! Propylthiouracil carries a boxed warning for hepatotoxicity which is a significant downside compared to the other agent in its class (methimazole). What about dosing? I discuss why this medication has to be dosed multiple times per day. Drug interactions aren't incredibly common with propylthiouracil but it can affect warfarin differently than most drug interactions. I discuss it further in this episode.
