Medical Management
Antithyroid medications
Methimazole (MMI, TapazoleTM)
Initial dose: 0.4-0.6 mg/kg/day q8-12h
Maintenance:0.2-0.3 mg/kg/day q12-24h
Propylthiouracil (PTU)
Initial Dose: 4-6 mg/kg/day q6-8h
Maintenance 2-3 mg/kg/day q 12h (-24h)

Hyperthyroidism - Management
Side Effects of Antithyroid medications:
Mild - pruritis, rash, abdominal pain, neutropenia,
Serious - agranulocytosis, arthropathy, lupus-like
syndrome, hepatitis
Hyperthyroidism - Management
Medical Management - Monitoring
Initially monitor q 4-6 weeks until T4 stabilized on
maintenance doses of MMI/PTU, then q 3-4 months.
Clinical status
T4, TSH
Generally continue treatment for 2 years then try off tx
and monitor closely for relapse

Girls:
Usually dont treat (even low dose estrogens cause
accelerated skeletal maturation)
Girls:
Start with low dose estrogen, increasing over 1-2 years, then begin
cycling with estrogen and progesterone
