Thyroid and Bone Hormones/Gonadotropic Hormones and Antagonists Flashcards
methimazole, propylthiouracil USE
hyperthyroidism- shrink thyroid, control until thyroidectomy
methimazole, propylthiouracil MOA
block peroxidase-mediated iodination of thyroglobulin, inhibiting organification of iodide and coupling of thyroid hormone synthesis
Propylthiouracil also blocks 5’ deiodinase which decreases peripheral conversion of T4 to T3
return pt to euthyroid state before long term option
meth preferred to PTU when radioactive iodine is needed bc doesnt inhibit uptake
methimazole, propylthiouracil TOX
skin rash agranulocytosis- rare aplastic anemia HEPATOTOXICITY- propylthiouracil methimazole-possible teratogen
radioactive iodine MOA
taken up by thyroid cells for destruction
most efective when patients have high TSH
radioactive iodine TOX
neck tenderness and swelling
N/V
swelling/tenderness of salivary glands
L-thyroxine
used in striaghtforward hormone replacement in hypothyroidism
Primary regulators of bone homeostasis
PTH- increase serum Ca2+, decrease PO4
Calcitriol (active Vit. D)- increase Ca2 and PO4
Both affect GI tract, Kidney and Bone
Bisphosphonates drugs?
alendronate
ibandronate
risedronate
etidronate
Bisphosphonate MOA
inhibit osteoclastic activity- reducing formation and resorption of hydroxyapatite
Bisphosphonate USE
malignancy associated hypercalicemia
Paget’s disease of bone
postmenopausal osteoporosis- prophylax
Bisphosphonate TOX
erosive esophagitis
nausea, diarrhea, osteonecrosis of jaw
must be taken on empty stomach with full glass of water with pt upright for an hour
Raloxifene MOA
SERM- nonsteriodal approved for prevention and TREATMENT of osteporosis
decreases bone turnover
Teriparatide MOA
PTH analog- stimulates osteoblasts, increasing trabecular bone density and connectivity in postmenopausal women
opposite of estrogen and bisphos. which reduce osteoclastic activity
ET/EPT MOA
inhibit osteoCLASTIC bone resorption
Calcitonin MOA
inhibits osteoCLASTIC bone resorption
inhibits kidney tubular reabsorption of Ca and PO4
