Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have hyperthyroidism and currently taking Neomercazole 5 mg once daily along with Inderal 10 mg twice daily. However, now I am faced with the need to undergo gallbladder removal surgery.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
From what you have attached (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity), it appears that your thyroid gland is well-controlled. Regarding your gall bladder surgery, you will have to continue to take your medication as prescribed. No changes are to be made.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you for consulting me.

Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
Does that mean I can undergo surgery?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Glad to have you back.
Yes, from a thyroid point of view. But of course, you will need fitness from an anesthetist as well. And for other conditions that you might have, for which I cannot give any fitness.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you for consulting me.
