Quá liều
Symptoms: Hypermetabolic state. Management: Symptomatic and supportive treatment. May induce vomiting to suppress gastrointestinal absorption. Administer oxygen and maintain ventilation. May give glycosides if CHF develops; propranolol to treat increased sympathetic activities; cholestyramine to interfere with thyroxine absorption; and glucocorticoids to inhibit conversion of T4 to T3. Control fever, hypoglycaemia and fluid loss as needed.

Tương tác
May diminish therapeutic effect of Na iodide. Increased risk of bleeding with vitamin K antagonists (e.g. warfarin). May increase plasma concentration of theophylline; may cause theophylline toxicity. May enhance the arrhythmogenic effect of tricyclic antidepressants. Decreased plasma concentration with bile acid sequestrants (e.g. colestipol, colestyramine) and oral contraceptives (e.g. estrogen). May decrease plasma concentration of digoxin. May cause hypothyroidism when given with amiodarone. May increase need for oral hypoglycemics or insulin.
Potentially Fatal: May cause serious toxic effects with sympathomimetic amines used for anorectic effect (e.g. phentermine). |

Tác dụng
Description:
Mechanism of Action: Thyroid is a natural product derived from porcine thyroid glands. It provides variable amounts of levothyroxine (T4) and liothyroxine (T3) hormones. The exact mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, but it is known to enhance oxygen consumption by tissues, increase basal metabolic rate and metabolism of carbohydrate, lipids and proteins. Synonym: dry thyroid, thyroid extract, thyroid gland, desiccated thyroid. Onset: Approx 3 hours (T3). Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Decreased absorption with food. Time to peak plasma concentration: 2-4 hours (T4); 2-3 days (T3). Distribution: Minimal amount crosses the placenta and enters breast milk. Plasma protein binding: >99% (T4) to plasma proteins including thyroxine-binding globulin, thyroxine-binding pre-albumin and albumin. Metabolism: Undergoes hepatic metabolism via outer ring deiodination by D1 (type 1 iodothyronine deiodinase) and converted to triiodothyronine (T3). Approx 80% T4 deiodinated in kidney and periphery. Glucuronidation and sulfation also occurs; undergoes enterohepatic recirculation. Excretion: Mainly via urine; partially faeces. Elimination half-life: T4: 9-10 days (hypothyroid); 6-7 days (euthyroid); 3-4 days (hyperthyroid). T3: 0.75 days. |
