Carbimazole is an antithyroid drug used to treat hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis by reducing thyroid hormone formation. It works by decreasing iodine uptake and concentration in the thyroid gland and reducing the formation of di-iodotyrosine and thyroxine. Common side effects include nausea, headache, and muscle/joint pain. Nurses are responsible for monitoring patients for side effects and hypersensitivity reactions, educating them on proper administration, and checking for symptoms of agranulocytosis.
