What medications does the doctor give a hyperthyroid patient?

Hyperthyroid: Hyperthyroidism can be cared for by surgery, or medication depending on the findings on x-ray. Sometimes there is so much thyroid gland to remove that you will have hypothyroidism and need thyroid replacement, Other times medical therapy can be prescribed. Not a pleasant experience at the beginning but over time you should have no problems.

2 types, generally: Hi. The most common medications used to treat newly diagnosed hyperthyroidism are antithyroid drugs (methimazole or PTU) to calm down the hyperthyroidism, and a beta-blocker to help fast heart rate and tremor. If radioactive iodine therapy is planned, probably just the beta-blocker in most cases. Good luck!
