methimazole

43
Q

partially blocks peripheral conversion of T4 to T3- medication

A

propanolol

44
Q

compare methimazole to PTU

A

PTU blocks some peripheral conversion whereas methimazole does not

45
Q

medication that inhibits release of stored thyroid hormone

A

iodine

because you don’t want the thyroid to start producing more thyroid hormone once the iodine allows it to be released
