Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have hyperthyroidism and you are taking propylthiouracil (PTU).

PTU can not treat your hyperthyroidism. It just maintain your thyroid hormones level to normal till you take the drug. You have to take drug for long time or you may go for surgery.

Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
