What is Endocrinology - Radioactive iodine or antithyroid drugs were first utilised to treat diffuse toxic goitre (Graves' disease).
The early 1940s saw the development of both techniques. Methimazole and propylthiouracil quickly took the place of the initially employed goitrogenic drug, thiourea, because of its hazardous side effects. Radioactive iodine (radioiodine), which was created during World War II, was utilised before 131I. Around 1946, radioiodine became widely accessible.
