What medications does the doctor give a hyperthyroid patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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!

Hi doc, was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism but the doctor told me that he wouldn't advise me to start medication now. But i feel uncomfortable.
Proper medication for hyperthyroidism, because i can not get proper answers from doctors. They just write tests and recommend to other doctors.
