Antithyroid drugs - what does this mean

Antithyroid drugs are medications that work by blocking the production of thyroid hormones in the body. these drugs work by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme thyroid peroxidase, which is responsible for the production of thyroid hormones. this leads to a decrease in the amount of thyroid hormones in the body, which helps to reduce the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

What happens during the disease - antithyroid drugs

Antithyroid drugs work by blocking the production of thyroid hormones. when this occurs, the body's hormones become unbalanced, leading to a decrease in the production of hormones necessary for normal functioning. this can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and depression. in some cases, prolonged use of antithyroid drugs can lead to hypothyroidism, which can cause more serious health complications.
