An infant with thyrotoxicosis whose mother had Graves disease was treated with sodium iopanoate. Euthyroid status was achieved rapidly and maintained with minimal effort in comparison with the conventional multidrug regimen. There were no toxic effects, and hypothyroidism did not occur.

    Citation Excerpt :

    One series compared OCAs with a thionamide and potassium iodide, which showed similar outcomes (39). OCAs have been noted to be safe and effective in neonatal Graves’ disease (21-24) and thyrotoxicosis due to TSH-oma (52). In toxic multinodular goiter, there was a relatively high rate of relapse after OCA treatment (48), likely due to autonomously functioning thyroid nodules that use excess available iodine released by OCAs.
