Of the following medications, which is the only one used to treat Grave’s Disease?
  1. Androstenedione
  2. Propylthiouracil
  3. Cytomel
  4. Finasteride
Explanation
Answer: B - Grave’s Disease is the most common form of hyperthyroidism. Propylthiouracil blocks iodine oxidation, necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, and is commonly used to treat hyperthyroidism. Androstenedione is a precursor of testosterone and estrogen and is banned by the FDA. Cytomel is synthetic T3 and is contraindicated in hyperthyroidism. Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor and is used in PCOS, BPH, and treatment of male-pattern baldness.
