Sintesi
Lycopus (gypsywort) extracts have antithyrotropic activity and may reduce thyroid hormone activity, including peripheral T4 to T3 conversion. Combined with methimazole this could add to the antithyroid effect and raise the risk of over-suppression and hypothyroidism.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Lycopus and Methimazole can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Perché avviene
Additive antithyroid pharmacodynamic effects, with lycopus inhibiting TSH binding and peripheral T4 to T3 conversion.
Cosa fare
Avoid starting lycopus in patients on methimazole where possible. If it is used, monitor TSH and free T4/T3 every 4-6 weeks and reduce the methimazole dose if hypothyroidism appears.
