C, T4 and T3 I would make sense too, but It's more probable to ingest propylthiouracil (oral drug)

I've got a question now: considering that in pregnancy it would be best not to give any pills to the mother, but if the mother has hypertiodism, what drug U should give her?Propiltiouracile or other ones?

The T4 and T3 would not coincide with an elevated TSH.
