I was only on it for 1 week because I ended up having an allergic reaction but every time I took it I thought I was going to be sick from the aftertaste. I have since been but on tapazole - (much better).

I have been on ptu for 2 months, having to take it 3 times a day. The taste was so horrible I dreaded every dose and suffered for hours after taking it.

Discussed it with my doctor and he seemed to not know what I was talking about - asked if I could take it as one dose - he said no - and was no help. I finally got to see another endicrinologist a few days ago - she understood just what I was talking about - said 20% or so of people experience this -- so switch to tapazole and I couldn't be happier.


demand that your doctor switch you unless he can give valid reason for remaining with ptu and suffering as you and I both have.

Good luck

You can buy gelcaps to put them in. You will still have the taste some but it really helps.
Just do not get the gelcaps wet!
