title: Drug induced endocrine problems.
abstract: Drug induced effects on the various endocrine and metabolic processes constitute a very common differential diagnostic possibility in investigating endocrine disorders. Knowledge of drug-effect is of paramount importance to avoid unnecessary and expensive investigations and treatment. Since most of the effects are type A effects and hence predictable, reduction of dose or modification of therapy is sufficient to reverse the adverse effects.
