Propylthiouracil (PTU) and Methimazole (Tapazole) are both antithyroid medications that would be routinely used to treat hyperthyroidism. Propranolol (Inderal), Esmolol (Brevibloc), and Metoprolol (Toprol) are beta blockers that may also be used to control symptoms such as tachycardia and anxiety, but they would not be considered first-line treatment for hyperthyroidism.
