A member asked:
Would hyperthyroidism turn into hypothyroidism if you used an overdose of medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Meds such as Methimazole or ptu (propylthiouracil) in high dosage can suppress thyroid levels when overactive such as in grave's disease. Thyroid levels must be monitor whether the dosage is too much or too little.
