Does anyone know if medication can shrink thyroid nodules?

NoT possible: This concept has fallen out of favor. No medicine appears to cause thyroid nodules to shrink.

Depends: If its a colloid nodule; possibly. Solid nodules are not likely to respond. The ata recommends against use of T4 for nodules.

Can you survive for a time without thyroid medication if you only have 25% of the left side of a thyroid left? Lost due to nodules and not cancer.
