Navigating the Side Effect Landscape of Antithyroid Drugs

The study highlights the need for careful monitoring and risk assessment when prescribing ATDs. The researchers emphasize the importance of weighing the potential benefits against the risks, especially during pregnancy.

Informed Decision-Making in Antithyroid Drug Treatment

This study provides valuable information for healthcare professionals and patients alike. It emphasizes the importance of open communication and shared decision-making when it comes to antithyroid drug treatment.
