(Pardon spelling but I think it's close to phonetic.) It has a shorter half-life than Tapazole so must be taken 3x/day (not a bad idea for Tap either), may be slightly carcinognic, is safe for pregnant and nursing mothers (unlike Tap), and may have a slightly stronger effect on TSI antibodies IIRC. Oh, it also is rumored to taste vile (unlike Tap). What treatment are you on again?
