Article Synopsis
- Propylthiouracil (PTU) is used to treat hyperthyroidism but can cause serious adverse reactions, particularly autoimmune conditions like lupus and vasculitis.
- PTU-induced vasculitis is more common than lupus, often affecting the skin but can also involve organs like the kidneys and lungs, with risks of severe complications.
- Discontinuing PTU usually leads to symptom resolution within a few weeks, but ongoing issues may require referral to a specialist for further treatment, particularly if symptoms persist after stopping the medication.
