Résumé
Exogenous thyroid hormone suppresses TSH and reduces thyroid tissue iodine uptake, so less radioiodine reaches the thyroid or thyroid cancer remnants. This can make diagnostic uptake studies unreliable and reduce the therapeutic effect of I-131.
Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples
Levothyroxine and Sodium iodide i-131 can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.
Pourquoi elle survient
Levothyroxine suppresses TSH-driven iodide uptake by thyroid tissue, lowering I-131 accumulation.
Conduite à tenir
Withhold levothyroxine for the period specified in the radioiodine protocol (or use recombinant TSH stimulation) before I-131 dosing. Restart thyroid hormone after treatment as directed by the nuclear medicine or endocrine team.
