Radioiodine Therapy

Radioiodine therapy is a treatment method used to suppress thyroid gland function. The radioactive substance used in therapy destroys excess and malignant cells that may be present in the gland. This is especially effective in cases of hyperthyroidism, when the thyroid gland excessively produces hormones, thyrotoxicosis, as well as in the presence of neoplasms. Radioiodine therapy is safe, well tolerated by patients, and has a minimal number of contraindications.

Features of the procedure in global clinics

In modern clinics, the preferred method is radioiodine therapy using Teragen. Teragen, containing radioactive iodine, has a high degree of purity and effectiveness, which allows precise dosing of the treatment and minimizes the risk of complications. This makes radioiodine therapy with Teragen safer and more effective compared to other methods.

The best global clinics performing radioiodine therapy have specially equipped rooms with good ventilation and air purification systems. This is necessary to ensure the safety of staff and others, as radioactive iodine can be dangerous if handled improperly.
