Pharmacological Management of Thyroid Diseases

Abstract

The thyroid gland produces T3 and T4, which regulate metabolism, and imbalances in these hormones can lead to serious conditions. Hyperthyroidism is commonly treated with antithyroid drugs like methimazole or PTU, along with beta-blockers for symptom relief. In cases where medication is ineffective, radioactive iodine or surgery may be considered. Hypothyroidism requires lifelong levothyroxine replacement and close monitoring. The study emphasizes timely and effective treatment to reduce complications and improve patient outcomes
