title: [Medicines and thyroid gland].
abstract: From their primary pharmacological effect, many drugs may also affect the thyroid gland function or the results of thyroid function tests. In addition to the drugs with a known effect on thyroid gland, including thionamides, thyroid hormones, recombinant TSH, iodine, iodide, amiodarone, lithium and heparin, novel compounds, including tyrosin-kinase inhibitors, immunomodulators and cytokines also have adverse effects on the thyroid gland. Novel drugs are then associated with new types of adverse thyroid effects.
