Hate to answer your question with a question but
Liver Effects from Tapazole? – this is the first I’ve heard
of it. I was planning to go for the next couple years on
tapazole – I didn’t know there was a negative effect except
for the white blood cell risk of dropping. I’ve enclosed
your initial query for reference…
Sincerely,
Beth
Hi. I was diagnosed with Graves a year ago September 1996. I’ve been on several
courses of tapazole which so far have not put me into remission. I have some
questions based on things which have been shared on the BB. What is ADT? If RAI is
done, is there any long-term impact on the salivary glands. Someone mentioned having
to suck on candy to get the juices flowing after RAI. In mid stream, I’ve had a change
in endos. The new one seems to base her recommendations largely on statistics. I’m
concerned about what she actually knows about Graves and will be talking to her
more tomorrow. She is strongly recommending RAI because of the potential liver
side-effects of Tapazole. Thanks for your help!
