Hypothyroidism requires thyroxine replacement, regardlesss
thyroidectomy was performed or not. The goal of this research
was to determine how different groups of drugs – ACE inhibitors,
selective beta blockators, Ca antagonists, nitrates, statins, or
different combinations of these drugs affect TSH level at the
patients on the thyroxine replacement therapy after total
thyroidectomy. Research took place in 2012 and was performed
on the outpatients that check their chormones at Department of
Nuclear Medicine in Clinical Center Kragujevac. 247 patients
were divided into groups depending on which drugs they had
been prescribed. The control group involved patients taking just
thyroxine without other medication. TSH level of patients in
control group was compared with TSH level of patients in groups
taking other drugs. Our study showed that patients that use
selective beta bloskators have significantly higher level of TSH
than patients that don’t take these drugs. TSH level in the grops
of p...atients using all other drugs did not differ from the control
group.
