Treatment: Treatment of Graves’ disease is predicated on stopping the excessive thyroid hormone production. Ablation of the thyroid can be achieved with radiation therapy or surgical removal. Medications such as β-blockers are used to lessen the symptoms of the disease until it is rendered under control. Medical management of Graves’ disease can be achieved with propylthiouracil or methimazole, both of which act to decrease thyroid hormone production.
