The first line of defense for Graves’ disease is often medication to lower thyroid hormone levels. At LIV Hospital, our endocrinologists tailor drug therapies to your specific needs, balancing rapid symptom relief with long-term safety.
For patients who do not respond to medication or require a permanent solution without surgery, Radioactive Iodine (RAI) Therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive procedure.
Surgery is generally reserved for specific cases, such as patients with large goiters (swollen thyroids) that block the airway, those with severe eye disease, or pregnant women who cannot take antithyroid drugs.
Recovery from Graves’ disease involves stabilizing hormone levels and managing complications like Thyroid Eye Disease (TED).
With successful treatment, the symptoms of racing heart, anxiety, and weight loss typically resolve. Your recovery journey depends on the chosen treatment, but our integrated support system is here for you every step of the way.

The three main treatments are antithyroid medications (methimazole), radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy, and surgery (thyroidectomy) to remove the gland. The best choice depends on your age, the severity of symptoms, and whether you have eye disease.
Medication treatment typically lasts 12-18 months to attempt remission. If you choose RAI or surgery, the procedure is quick, but you will likely need to take thyroid replacement pills for the rest of your life.
Surgery is usually recommended if you have a very large goiter, suspected thyroid nodules/cancer, or severe eye disease that might be worsened by radioactive iodine. It is also an option for those who cannot tolerate medication.
The primary medications are antithyroid drugs like methimazole and propylthiouracil (PTU), which stop hormone production. Beta-blockers are also used temporarily to control heart rate and tremors.
You can expect your metabolism to return to normal, meaning your heart rate will slow down and you may regain lost weight. If you have surgery or RAI, you will transition to taking a daily hormone supplement to maintain energy levels.
