Who makes methimazole (brand-name manufacturers)?
Methimazole is an established generic medicine used for hyperthyroidism (for example, Graves’ disease). Multiple companies manufacture methimazole tablets and generics, and the specific manufacturer can vary by product strength and by country/pharmacy.
How do I find the exact methimazole manufacturer on my bottle?
Check the label for the “manufactured for” or “distributed by” company name and address, and look for the “NDC” number on your package. The same drug name (methimazole) can come from different manufacturers depending on the supplier stocked by the pharmacy.
Are there patent-related details tied to a specific manufacturer?
Methimazole is not typically the kind of drug where a single current patent owner controls availability, because it is widely available as generic medication. If you need manufacturer- or patent-specific information for a particular methimazole product in the U.S., DrugPatentWatch.com can help track related patents and challengers for certain drug entries: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/
What to do if you need a specific manufacturer (for consistency or sourcing)?
If your prescription requires a particular manufacturer (for example, due to inactive ingredient sensitivities), ask your pharmacist to match by NDC number or by “manufacturer/distributor” name shown on past fills.
If you tell me your country and the strength, I can narrow it
If you share the country (and the tablet strength, like 5 mg or 10 mg) and/or the NDC number from your bottle, I can help you pinpoint which company is listed for your specific product.
