Levothyroxine
Thyroid Hormone T4
oral or inject

Indic: *hypothyroid
*cretinism(*higher doses required in children)
*TSH suppression therapy in Thyroid CA or nontoxic goiter

*wks to obtain steady-state
monitor serum T4 and TSH

*decrease absorption:
cholestyramine
Iron
Ca++
AlOH
Soy products
* ^ biliary secrecetion/CL- w?inducer of CYP450- rifampicin,phenytoin, carbamazapine, OC

*increase effect of warfarin, TCA, and amiodarone

SE: same of Hyperthyroid cond.
Narrow therapeutic window
Liothyronine
thyroid hormone T3
oral or inject

Indic: rapid onset and shorter dura of action- mxedemic coma or prep for 131-I Tx of CA

SE: Same as hyperthyroid cond- heat intol, agitation
*more potent- cardiac arrhythmias
Liotrix
Mixture of T3 and T4
oral
Indic:*hypothyroid
*cretinism
*TSH supress for Thyroid CA or nontoxic goiter

*decrease absorption:
cholestyramine
Iron
Ca++
AlOH
Soy products
* ^ biliary secrecetion/CL- induce CYP450- rifampicin,phenytoin, carbamazapine, OC

*increase effect of warfarin, TCA, and amiodarone

SE: same of Hyperthyroid cond.
Propylthiouracil (PTU)
Thioureylene

MoA: *inhib iodination of tyrosine resides
*inhib coupling of iodotyrosine residues on thyroglobulin
*inhib peri conversion T4>T3
*short plasma t1/2

Indic:*hyperthyroid
*control hyperT4 in Graves with awaiting effects of irradiation
*thyroid surgery prep

SE: agranuocytosis(dose indep)
rash, urtucaria

PREFERRED in PREG and NURSING-restricted placental transfer and excretion in milk, minimize dose and monitor periodically
Methimazole
Thiourylene

MoA: *inhib iodination of tyrosine residues
*inhib coupling of iodotyrosine residues on thyroglobulin

Indic:*hyperthyroid
*control hyperT4 in Graves with awaiting effects of irradiation
*thyroid surgery prep

SE: agranuocytosis-dose dep
rash, urtucaria

Can be used in Preg pt, not nursing pt
Iodide (Iodopen)
MoA: high [iodide]-inhib I` uptake, iodonation and coupling, and release of thyroid hormone
oral, inject, IV

Indic:*pre-op Tx for hyperthyroid state-decreases vasc, size, and fragility of hyperplastic gland
*hyperthyroid storm

NOT prior to 131-I tx, makes it ineffective

SE: hypersensitivity to IV dosing
angioedema

Effects wane over time, iodide block, must use in conjunction with other drugs
131-Iodide
MoA: concentrates in thyroid gland- beta and gamma radiation kill cells in imme vicinity

Indic:ablation tx for hyperthyroid

Interacts with high does iodide

SE: overTx-hypothyroid

CONTRA-absolutely in preg

adjunc with B-blockers while awaiting effects
beta-adrenergic recep blockers
Propranolol (non-cardio specific)

MoA: counteract the increased number of B-recep in the heart caused by T3- block and decrease HR, contractility, and arrhythmias

Indic: thyroid strom
adjuvant to 131-I
acute Tx of hyperthyroid state

DO NOT change thyrois hormone levels, change clinical manifestations
thryoid strom
life-threatening thyroid hormone-induced hypermetabolic state (thyrotoxicosis)

Heat intol
diaphoresis
fever (105-106)
^HR
high output HF
cardiac arrhythmias
delirium, seizures, coma
diarrhea, nausea, jaundse, abdopain

Causes: infec, surgery, 131-I, preg, anti cholinergics, over palpation of thyroid

3-5x more common in females

TX- antipyretics
iv hydrocortisone-block conversion and immunosuppresion
PTU
high does iodide
