endocrine drugs pharmacology
This document discusses the endocrine system and hormones. It focuses on steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone that are produced by the adrenal cortex. Cortisol regulates glucose metabolism and has anti-inflammatory effects. Aldosterone controls electrolyte and fluid levels. Long-term high-dose use of glucocorticoids can lead to diabetes, osteoporosis, and infections due to immune suppression. Adrenal crisis is a medical emergency caused by a lack of cortisol and requires immediate treatment with hydrocortisone injections. Abrupt withdrawal from glucocorticoid therapy should be avoided.
Diuretics
This document discusses different types of diuretic drugs. It classifies diuretics into high ceiling/loop diuretics, thiazides, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, potassium-sparing diuretics, osmotic diuretics, and low ceiling diuretics. It describes the mechanisms and effects of several classes, including how loop diuretics inhibit sodium reabsorption, thiazides inhibit sodium-chloride transport, and potassium-sparing diuretics prevent sodium reabsorption while retaining potassium. The document also mentions potential side effects of diuretic use.
Potassium sparing diuretics
Potassium-sparing diuretics work by antagonizing the effects of aldosterone in the collecting tubules, preventing potassium secretion. They include spironolactone, eplerenone, amiloride, and triamterene. Spironolactone and eplerenone directly block mineralocorticoid receptors, while amiloride and triamterene inhibit sodium influx. Their use can cause hyperkalemia due to reduced potassium excretion. Combining them with thiazides can ameliorate thiazide-induced hypokalemia but requires careful dose adjustment to avoid adverse effects. Loop diuretics combined with thiazides provide an additive diuretic response by blocking sodium

Hypothyroidism
Levothyroxine is used to treat hypothyroidism, which occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormone. The typical dose for adults is between 50-150 micrograms daily, with blood tests done every few months to monitor thyroid levels and adjust the dose as needed. Some medications can interfere with levothyroxine absorption, requiring dose changes. Side effects are rare but may include worsening of angina or hyperthyroidism symptoms from too high a dose.

Title {thyroid gland} (1)
This document discusses the thyroid gland and thyroid problems. It introduces the thyroid gland and its functions in producing hormones that regulate metabolism and other bodily processes. It describes the two main thyroid disorders: hypothyroidism, which involves insufficient hormone production and its symptoms and treatments; and hyperthyroidism, which involves excessive hormone production and its potential causes like Grave's disease, symptoms, and treatment options like radioactive iodine. Other conditions discussed include goiter and how to avoid thyroid risks like unnecessary radiation exposure during dental x-rays.
Hypo & hyper thyroidism.pptx
The document discusses hypo and hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, with the most common cause being Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid that produces too much of the hormone thyroxine, accelerating metabolism and potentially causing unintended weight loss and irregular heartbeat. Hypothyroidism is usually treated with daily levothyroxine hormone replacement tablets, while hyperthyroidism can be treated with radioactive iodine or surgery to target the thyroid cells.
Thyroid and Antithyroid drugs, Medicinal Chemistry,Mr.Jimmy Alexander ,Associ...
The document summarizes thyroid function and the treatment of hypo- and hyperthyroidism. It discusses how thyroid hormones regulate metabolism and development. It describes the biosynthesis of thyroid hormones including iodine uptake and thyroglobulin processing. Hypothyroidism is treated with levothyroxine replacement. Hyperthyroidism is caused by overactive thyroid and treated with anti-thyroid drugs like propylthiouracil and methimazole which inhibit thyroid peroxidase to reduce hormone production. Goiter can result from hypo- or hyperthyroidism and treated with medications, surgery or radioactive iodine.
BIO 463 Synthroid Group Presenation
This document summarizes information about the thyroid medication Synthroid. It discusses that Synthroid contains synthetic levothyroxine, which replaces the hormone the thyroid cannot produce in patients with hypothyroidism. It reviews Synthroid's sales, which make it the top-selling thyroid medication. The document also outlines Synthroid's competitors and proposes potential improvements to the formulation to reduce side effects.
Thyroid drugs and anti thyroid drugs
Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. Drugs used to treat it include propylthiouracil and methimazole which reduce thyroid hormone production. Hypothyroidism is treated with levothyroxine to restore normal thyroid hormone levels. Radioactive iodine is also used to destroy thyroid tissue in conditions like hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer.
Understanding Your Thyroid
The document summarizes information about the thyroid gland and common thyroid conditions. It discusses that the thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck and produces thyroid hormones that help regulate growth and metabolism. It also describes common thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, their symptoms, diagnostic tests and treatment options. These include levothyroxine medication for hypothyroidism and antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine or surgery to treat hyperthyroidism. The document also discusses thyroid nodules, goiter and provides some case examples of patients that may have thyroid issues.
Anti thyroid drugs
The document discusses the thyroid gland and thyroid hormones. It covers the normal circulating thyroid hormones, which are thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and reverse T3 (rT3). It also discusses the metabolism and mechanisms of action of thyroid hormones. Additionally, it provides details on the treatment of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, including the drugs used to treat hyperthyroidism such as propylthiouracil, methimazole, potassium iodide, radioactive iodine, and beta blockers.
Drugs for thyroid and parathyroid disorders
Drugs used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism
Thyroid Hormone
The thyroid gland produces three main hormones: T4, T3, and calcitonin. T4 is produced in larger amounts than T3. Both are produced through a process involving iodine uptake and binding to tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin within the thyroid follicle. T3 has greater biological activity than T4. Hypothyroidism occurs when not enough hormones are produced, while hyperthyroidism is an overproduction. Diseases are treated through antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine therapy, or thyroid surgery.
Thyroid & Anti Thyroid by S.A.Naveed
The document discusses thyroid and anti-thyroid drugs. It describes the thyroid gland and its hormones including thyroxine, triiodothyronine, and calcitonin. It discusses hypothyroidism which is a deficiency of thyroid hormones, and hyperthyroidism which is an excess of thyroid hormones. Common causes and treatments of hypothyroidism include Hashimoto's disease treated with thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Graves' disease is an autoimmune cause of hyperthyroidism treated with antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, or surgery.
COMPILED-POWERPOINT-GROUP-01-Peptide-Hormones-and-the-Endocrine-System.pptx
The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones which regulate processes throughout the body. The pituitary gland and thyroid gland are important endocrine glands. The pituitary gland has an anterior and posterior lobe; the posterior lobe produces vasopressin and oxytocin which regulate water balance and labor. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism and uses iodine to produce important hormones like thyroxine and triiodothyronine. Hormone replacement therapies exist for treating hypo- and hyperactive endocrine glands like the thyroid, and involve replacing missing hormones or reducing overactive hormone levels.
Slide27 glands
The endocrine system consists of ductless glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The major glands are the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreatic, and gonads. Hormones affect cells in other sites and include proteins, steroids, and fatty acids. The pituitary gland regulates other glands through hormones like ACTH, LH, FSH, TSH, growth hormone, and prolactin. The thyroid gland produces T3 and T4, which increase metabolism. Hypothyroidism is treated with levothyroxine while hyperthyroidism is treated with anti-thyroid drugs, iodine, radioactive iodine, or beta-blockers
Thyroid &anti thyroid drugs
Thyroid hormones are synthesized from tyrosine and iodine in the thyroid gland and regulate growth, metabolism, and other bodily functions. Anti-thyroid drugs work by inhibiting thyroid hormone synthesis, blocking iodine uptake, or destroying thyroid tissue. Synthesis inhibitors like propylthiouracil and methimazole bind to enzymes to prevent formation of the active hormones T3 and T4. Iodine and iodide supplements cause feedback inhibition of TSH to shrink the thyroid gland. Radioactive iodine I-131 is selectively taken up and destroys thyroid cells through radiation emission, providing a non-surgical treatment for hyperthyroidism.

thyroid hormone.pdf
The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) which increase metabolism. Too little hormone causes hypothyroidism with symptoms like bradycardia and weight gain, while too much causes hyperthyroidism with symptoms like tachycardia and weight loss. Hypothyroidism is treated with levothyroxine replacement therapy. Hyperthyroidism treatments include anti-thyroid medications to block hormone synthesis, radioactive iodine ablation of the thyroid gland, or surgery.
PH 1.36 THYROID.pptx
1. The thyroid gland secretes T3 and T4 hormones which regulate metabolism. Hypothyroidism is treated with levothyroxine replacement while hyperthyroidism is treated with antithyroid drugs like methimazole or propylthiouracil.
2. Methimazole and propylthiouracil work by inhibiting thyroid peroxidase and iodination of tyrosine, blocking thyroid hormone production. Propylthiouracil also blocks conversion of T4 to T3.
3. Treatment of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy uses propylthiouracil in the first trimester and methimazole in the second and third trimesters due to safety.
Mood stabilizers
This document discusses mood stabilizers, which are medications used to treat mood disorders like bipolar disorder. It describes bipolar disorder and its symptoms. The main types of mood stabilizers are lithium, anticonvulsants like valproate and carbamazepine, and antipsychotics. Lithium was one of the first mood stabilizers and works by interfering with cell signaling pathways. Anticonvulsants also have mood stabilizing effects through mechanisms like enhancing GABA. Antipsychotics are used to treat mania and can have side effects like extrapyramidal symptoms. The goals of treatment are to reduce symptoms, prevent relapse, and improve functioning while reducing risks.
Thyroid drugs
The document discusses thyroid hormones and thyroid inhibitors. It describes the synthesis and actions of thyroid hormones T3 and T4. It then outlines different classes of thyroid inhibitors including antithyroid drugs, iodine/iodides, and radioactive iodine. Antithyroid drugs like methimazole and propylthiouracil inhibit hormone synthesis while iodine/iodides inhibit hormone release. Radioactive iodine is used therapeutically to destroy the thyroid gland in conditions like Graves' disease.
