There are several ways to treat hyperthyroidism.

Treatment for hyperthyroidism includes antithyroid therapy and symptomatic therapy. Antithyroid therapy includes oral medication, surgery and radioactive iodine-131 therapy. Symptomatic therapy is required to correct heart rate depression and electrolyte imbalance, protect liver function and increase white blood cells because patients may exhibit symptoms such as palpitations, abnormal liver function and leukopenia. Propranolol and metoprolol tartrate tablets can be used to slow down heart rate, compound glycyrrhizin tablets can be used to protect liver function, and rikejun can be used to increase white blood cells.
