What is true regarding the use of antithyroid drugs during administration to manage hyperthyroidism? Question 27 options: All the answers are correct. Methimazole has a longer half-life, allowing for once-a-day dosing, while Propylthiouracil (PTU) must be taken 3 times a day. PTU causes serious liver injury more than Methimazole. Both PTU and Methimazole are Pregnancy category D. PTU blocks the conversion of T4 to T3 in peripheral tissue and is preferred for pregnant patients.
