Has your doctor recommended Radioiodine (I-131) treatment for an overactive thyroid?
Learning that you need treatment can feel overwhelming, but you are not alone. Low-Dose Radioiodine (I-131) therapy is a well-established treatment that has been used safely around the world for many years. It works by selectively targeting overactive thyroid cells while minimising effects on the rest of your body.
For most patients, treatment is simple. The radioactive iodine is taken as a capsule or liquid, and many patients can return home on the same day with personalised radiation safety advice from our Nuclear Medicine team.
At Beacon Hospital, our specialists will guide you through every step, from your initial consultation to follow-up care.
