Thyroid therapy
Drug therapy
Which medicines can help?
We have access to a wide range of medications for the treatment of thyroid diseases. Which drug therapy promises success depends in large parts on the diagnosis. For example, hypothyroidism is treated with thyroid hormones (e.g. L-Thyroxine). In the case of hyperthyroidism, thyrostatic drugs such as thiamazole or propycil can be used. If there is an enlargement of the thyroid gland (goiter), an antistrumigenic therapy approach with thyron iodine or iodide is usually followed.
How is the right medication determined?
Whether a drug therapy for your thyroid problems is necessary and also possible can be decided by determining your specific laboratory results. For this purpose, a blood sample will be taken from you in our practice. After the results have been analysed, we will send you a report in which we will inform you about the duration and dose of any medication that may be necessary, as well as when you should schedule your next follow-up appoinment. If you need medication, you will receive the appropriate prescription from your doctor.
What do I have to bring to the appointment?
In addition to your insurance card and referral to nuclear medicine, it is useful to bring a list of the medications which you are already taking. This will enable us to adjust any medication that may be necessary in order to minimise or avoid undesirable side effects or interactions.
Are the costs reimbursed?
The medication therapy of thyroid diseases is a statutory and private health insurance benefit.
