Radioactive iodine therapy is the most commonly used
treatment in the United States for Graves disease
(hyperthyroidism); however, it is contraindicated during
pregnancy. Therefore, for women, a pregnancy test (beta-
human chorionic gonadotropin) needs to be performed before
initiating therapy. Women of childbearing age should also be
told to delay conception for a few months after radioactive
iodine therapy. It is also contraindicated in women who are
breastfeeding. Older adults or clients at risk of developing
cardiac complications may be pretreated with antithyroid
drugs (ATDs) before therapy to deplete the thyroid gland of
stored hormone, thereby minimizing the risk of exacerbation
of hyperthyroidism because of radioactive iodine (131I)–
induced thyroiditis.
