Use of Carbimazole, Methimazole and Propylthiouracil in Women of Childbearing Age and Exposed Pregnancies in Germany: A Population-Based Study
The prescription prevalence of ATD overall and specifically of CMZ/MMI in girls and women of childbearing age decreased between 2005 and 2020 in Germany. The decrease in exposure to CMZ/MMI at pregnancy onset indicates that physicians became increasingly aware of the potential risks of CMZ/MMI to the unborn child.
