Description
Tapazole (Methimazole Tablets, USP) is a white, crystalline substance that is
freely soluble in water. It differs chemically from the drugs of the thiouracil
series primarily because it has a 5- instead of a 6-membered ring. Each tablet
contains 5 or 10 mg methimazole, an orally administered antithyroid drug. Each
tablet also contains lactose, magnesium setarate, starch, and talic. The
molecular weight is 114.16, and the empirical formula is C4H6N2S.
