Hi. I have had hypertyroidism for 4 years. My 1st option I chose was the pill form medication. I was taking Tapazol until I found out that it can cause birth defects. I then switch to PTU and ended up taking 8 tablets 3x day. Tablets were 10mg, and horride, they would melt the minute I put them into my mouth and leave this awful after taste. Needless to say I got so feed up with all of that, and I just had radioactive iodine 7 weeks ago. I feel a lot better. I would highly recommend the radioactive iodine. Even though there are some strict guidelines that you should follow for 5 days.
