What medicine does hyperthyroidism take to be able to cure

Drug 1: antithyroid drugs can be divided into imidazole (such as tabazole) and thiourea (such as propylthiouracil). Only one of them was selected for treatment. They have therapeutic effect by blocking the synthesis of thyroid hormone in thyroid cells and reducing the thyroid hormone secreted by thyroid tissue.

Drug 2: propylthiouracil is shorter, only 60 minutes, while tapazole is longer, 4-6 hours. Therefore, propylthiouracil must be taken once every 6-8 hours, and tapazole not only has a long half-life in the blood, but also stays in the thyroid for a long time, so it can be taken once a day.

Drug 3: antithyroid drugs (ATD) mainly include thioureas (such as propylthiouracil, PTU) and imidazoles (such as methimazole, mm). The main side effects are leucopenia, liver function damage and drug-induced skin rash. Although the incidence is not too high, sometimes it can lead to serious consequences.
