What type of medicine can effect the thyroid and make it stop working correctly?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Thyroid and meds: Amiodarone has a high iodine content and can make thyroid function erratic. Both steroids and beta blockers (end in -olol) prevent T4 to T3 (liothyronine) conversion. Estrogen and Progesterone can effect protein binding of thyroid hormone. Interferon can induce thyroid autoimmunity.
