A commonly used thyroid hormone is levothyroxine (Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroid).
There are a number of different conditions which can result in an overactive thyroid (officially known as hyperthyroidism) and therefore a number of different treatments. In many cases, the problem is caused by a dietary deficiency of iodine, therefore it can be treated with iodine supplements (or by consuming more iodized salt). For some people, it is better to use drugs which suppress the activity of the thyroid gland; these drugs fall into the category of beta-blockers. And in some cases, surgery is needed to remove some of the thyroid gland.
