Why can not use antihistamines and decongestants in patient with thyroid disease ? what is the machanism of action? what medicine can use to relief ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decongestants may: Decongestants may complicate and exacerbate hyperthyroid states. In general I do not recommend oral decongestants to any age group as there is a higher risk of cardiovascular disease with decongestant use. Antihistamines alone may be used in thyroid disease in general.
