What is Radioactive iodine treatment? How safe is it?
Dr C H Asrani on Aug 25, 2012 Reply
Radioactive treatment is resorted to in a case of recurrent/ refractory cases of thyrotoxicosis. Radioactive treatment kind of destroys the thyroid gland and converts a case of thyrotoxicosis to clinical hypothyroidism, which is less toxic & easier to manage than thyrotoxicosis.
