>I am looking for a reference for calculating the Thyroid dose for a
patient who experienced nausea about 2 hours after the administration of an
I-131 capsule.  The patient was hyperthyroid.  (60% uptake at 24 hours)  
>By the way the nausea was probably due to the flu, which the spouse was
suffering from also.
>The question is now how to complete the treatment of the patient.
>Thanks in advance.
