Drug-Induced Hypothyroidism
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Medication-induced hypothyroidism is a decrease in the activity of the thyroid gland related to the use of certain drugs that interfere with the production or use of thyroid hormones. The thyroid regulates key processes of the body's metabolism.
Frequent symptoms: when thyroid function drops, fatigue, cold intolerance, dry skin, weight gain or general slowness may be noticed.
When is it worth reviewing? If these symptoms appear while using a medication, it's important to discuss it with whoever prescribed it, without stopping it on your own.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist handles hormonal disorders; the general practitioner can guide a first assessment and, in children, the pediatrician. It's advisable to review the case with one of these professionals to adjust follow-up.
