Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
I think there is confusion at some level.
Your father need anti thyroid drugs like carbimazole or methimazole if he has hyperthyroid symptoms and blood parameters indicate so.
Thyronorm is prescribed in patients with low level of thyroid hormones.
You can consult you doctor for clarification.
Hope i have answered your query.
Get well soon.
Take Care
