  1. Antithyroid medication is often used for hyperthyroidism, because it works more quickly than radioactive iodine therapy. And unlike radioactive iodine therapy, which destroys part or all of the thyroid gland depending on the dosage used, medication does not cause permanent thyroid damage.

    Sometimes, you may take antithyroid medication before you have radioactive iodine treatment or surgery-to bring your metabolism to normal, to make you feel better, or to reduce the chances of more serious problems.

    Antithyroid medicine does control hyperthyroidism in many people, but the medicine does have some drawbacks.

    You have to take the medicine for at least 1 year.

    Your symptoms may come back after a few years, and then you have to start taking antithyroid medicine again or try a different treatment.

    There are some rare side effects from the medicine, ranging from a rash to a low white blood cell count, which can make it hard for your body to fight infection.

    Sometimes your doctor will prescribe additional medicines to treat symptoms caused by hyperthyroidism, such as rapid heartbeat or dry eyes. These medicines can help you feel better while you wait for another treatment to begin to work.
