amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis

Cardiology Thyroid disease caused by amiodarone, an iodine-rich antiarrhythmic, which occurs in up to ±10% of amiodarone recipients living in areas of moderate iodine deficiency. See Thyrotoxicosis.

Thyroidologists have become so destructive that some of them recommend radioiodine ablation of the thyroid to allow the reintroduction of the toxic, organic iodine-containing drug, amiodarone in patients with a prior history of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis. To quote Hormida, (28) et al: "...

More recently, perchlorate has been used (alone or in combination with other antithyroid drugs) to treat amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis or hypothyroidism, conditions in which underlying thyroid abnormalities are unmasked when the iodine-containing drug amiodarone is given to control cardiac arrhythmia (9).
