   How is Graves' disease treated?

   • Treatment for Graves' disease aims to stop the thyroid from making hormones. Treatment also blocks the effect of the hormones on the body. With this therapy, you take radioactive iodine, called radioiodine, by mouth. The radioiodine goes into the thyroid cells. Over time, it destroys the cells that make thyroid hormone.
