Medical treatment of thyrotoxicosis.

Medical treatment of thyrotoxicosis. Q J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2021 Jan 26;: Authors: Scappaticcio L, Bellastella G, Maiorino MI, Giovanella L, Esposito K Abstract Medical treatment is the primary therapeutic option for thyrotoxicosis/hyperthyroidism. Two groups of causes of thyrotoxicosis (i.e. thyrotoxicosis with hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis without hyperthyroidism) need to be considered for therapeutic reasons. Herein we provide an updated review on the role of conventional medical therapies [i.e. β-blockers, anti-thyroid drugs (ATDs), corticosteroids, inorganic iodide, perchlorate, cholecystographic agents, lithium, cholestyramine] in the main causes of thyrotoxicosis, starting from the rationale subtending their clinical application.
