Introduction. Thiamine is required by all tissues and must be ingested in the diet. Thiamine requirements increase with total calorie intake, when the diet is rich in carbohydrate, and when basal metabolism is increased, such as in alcohol withdrawal (Sechi and Serra, 2007; Mancinelli and Ceccanti, 2009).
Medical uses. Thiamazole is a drug used to treat hyperthyroidism such as in Graves' disease, a condition that occurs when the thyroid gland begins to produce an excess of thyroid hormone. The drug may also be taken before thyroid surgery to lower thyroid hormone levels and minimize the effects of thyroid manipulation. Additionally, thiamazole is used in the veterinary setting to treat hyperthyroidism in cats.
