  2. Beta blocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker

    Beta blockers vary in their lipophilicity (fat solubility) and in turn in their ability to cross the blood–brain barrier and exert effects in the central nervous system. [76] Beta blockers with greater blood–brain barrier permeability can have both neuropsychiatric therapeutic benefits and side effects, as well as adverse cognitive effects ...

  3. Antithyroid agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antithyroid_agent

    This is a form of targeted therapy for hyperthyroidism. Since even low levels of ionizing radiation are highly mutagenic and can cause cancer, [16] less toxic iodine isotopes such as iodine-123 [17] are more commonly used in nuclear imaging, while iodine-131 is used for its cytolytic (cell-destroying) effects in hyperthyroidism and thyroid ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrotoxic_periodic_paralysis

    The non-selective beta blocker propranolol can rapidly improve the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, including attacks of TPP. In the acute phase of an attack, administration of potassium will quickly restore muscle strength and prevent complications.

  5. Propranolol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propranolol

    It is a non-selective beta blocker which works by blocking β-adrenergic receptors. [2] Propranolol was patented in 1962 and approved for medical use in 1964. [9] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [10] Propranolol is available as a generic medication. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpartum_thyroiditis

    For most women, the hyperthyroid phase presents with very mild symptoms or is asymptomatic; intervention is usually not required. If symptomatic cases require treatment, a short course of beta-blockers would be effective. [3] Assessing treatment for the hypothyroid is more complex.

  8. Propylthiouracil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylthiouracil

    Propylthiouracil (PTU) is a medication used to treat hyperthyroidism. [3] This includes hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease and toxic multinodular goiter. [3] In a thyrotoxic crisis it is generally more effective than methimazole. [3] Otherwise it is typically only used when methimazole, surgery, and radioactive iodine is not possible. [3]

  9. Thyrotoxic myopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrotoxic_myopathy

    Beta-blockers are used to alleviate the symptoms associated with TM. But beta-blockers do not reduce the damage done by excess thyroxine. Medications such as propylthiouracil and methimazole are administered to block the release of thyroxine from the thyroid and to block the damage thyroxine inflicts on muscle fiber tissue.
