Patients with hyperthyroidism who need treatment should be treated with western medicines because there are no effective clinical studies that show that proprietary Chinese medicines can be effective in treating hyperthyroidism. Western medicine is commonly used in methimazole or propylthiouracil, which can reduce the secretion of thyroid hormone, thus treating hyperthyroidism. Chinese patent medicines can be taken, but only after the Chinese medicine practitioner to identify the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, according to the symptoms of hyperthyroidism itself and the body to determine which is better to take Chinese medicine. In any case, the treatment of hyperthyroidism should be based on western medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used as an auxiliary means of treatment.
