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.

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.File in questo prodotto:
