Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the effects of herbal medicine on an elderly patient with subclinical hyperthyroidism who could not use antithyroid medication due to an adverse reaction to methimazole.
Methods: Herbal medicine was administered and a thyroid function test was used to evaluate the effects of the treatment.
Results: After treatment with herbal medicine and therapy, the patient showed improvements in TSH levels.
Conclusion: This case suggested that herbal medicine can be used for patients who have adverse reactions to antithyroid medication; however, additional studies with more patients are required for verification of this finding.
