50 in 10,000 chances one will die once one is on Methimazole.

Liz,

I am afraid as well. There is a lot of misinformation in this email,

including the above statement. Althought I am sure the author meant well, the

author is misinformed.

God bless,

Mirela,

I know the numbers. 0.2-0.5% of patients on ATDs will experience serious

adverse effects. This means RARE. Your statement, however, would falsely lead

people to believe that 50 of 10,000 patients taking ATDs will die from the

drug!

Also, agranulocytosis IS a serious condition, but you state that it is

irreversible, and that is simply not true.

If you have data to support either one of these claims, I will surely read

it. Thanks.

God bless,
