The generic name of Sage is Methimazole Tablet. Usually, a quarter tablet of methimazole tablets taken on alternate days does not affect fertilized eggs.
Methimazole tablets, which are indicated for all types of hyperthyroidism, are antithyroid medications that are not contraindicated during pregnancy, and a dose of one-quarter of a tablet does not affect fertilized eggs.
When hyperthyroidism is detected before pregnancy and treated with methimazole, and when pregnancy is detected, such drugs do not cause much effect on the fetus, and although there is no guarantee that there will be no embryotoxic effect on the fetus at all, routine doses do not usually cause fetal malformations.
Therefore, after confirming pregnancy, it is recommended to consult a doctor, who may prescribe to change to safer anti-thyroid drugs, such as propylthiouracil, for the treatment of hyperthyroidism, and regularly review the thyroid function. Specific medication should be regulated under the guidance of a doctor.
