Sintesi
Antithyroid drugs reduce thyroid uptake of radioiodine, so the therapeutic radiation dose delivered to the gland may be inadequate. Treatment failure or the need for repeat dosing may result.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Methimazole 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.
Perché avviene
Methimazole inhibits thyroid peroxidase and hormone synthesis, which lowers thyroidal radioiodine uptake and retention.
Cosa fare
Stop methimazole several days before I-131 administration, typically 3 to 4 days per labeling, and do not give them together. Restart afterward according to the treating specialist's plan and monitor thyroid function.
