  Rating
Overall rating:  
Effectiveness:   Moderately Effective
Side effects:   Moderate Side Effects
  
Treatment Info
Condition / reason:   Hyperthyroid - Graves Disease
Dosage & duration:   150 - 450 mcg (dosage frequency: 3 times per day) for the period of 2 years

Reported Results
Benefits:   Reduced the level of thyroid hormone, thereby minimizing many of the hyperthyroid symptoms.

Comments:   PTU was administered in varying doses while thyroid hormone levels were monitored. The dose was adjusted accordingly, but often the response was a few weeks behind the dosage change, hence it was difficult to titer and keep hormone levels within normal ranges.
