Antithyroid drugs are directed at reducing thyroid hormone production, which is ultimately responsible for the symptoms and signs of thyrotoxicosis. Aim: The present study is an attempt to analyse the effect of Carbimazole treatment on Grave’s disease. Methodology: It was a retrospective study done on 53 patients attending OPD in Patna Medical College, Bihar, India. Results: There was significant difference between the mean age of males and females. As a result of our intervention of carbimazole therapy, 73.6% patients showed improvement in their clinical profile. Only 3 patients didn’t show any improvement.
