Thyroid Inhibitor
ACTION
Propylthiouracil affects the synthesis of thyroid hormones by
inhibiting the incorporation of
iodide into thyroglobulin. It does not inactivate thyroid hormones
previously formed or interfere
with their release from the gland.
Also, depending on the activity of the disease and on whether or not
the patient has previously
received iodide, the clinical effects will not appear until the stored
supply of thyroid hormones
has been utilized.
Clinical response may be delayed for up to two weeks. Propylthiouracil
may also decrease the
rate of conversion of T
4
(1-thyroxine) to T
3
(triiodothyronine) in peripheral tissues.
Iodide uptake is not decreased by propylthiouracil.
In responsive patients, prolonged remission may be obtained only after
several months of
treatment and may take up to several years. The average duration of
treatment is usually one
year.
Data suggest that stopping therapy as soon as the euthyroid state is
attained is as effective in
some patients as continuing therapy for a year or longer.
