What medications are used for endocrine disorders?
Disease description:
I have a friend who is in her thirties, and she was recently diagnosed with endocrine disorder. She now has to go home to recover. However, she wants to find a doctor to prescribe medication for regulating her condition and is asking which medicines are used for treating endocrine disorders.
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Bai Hongmei
Medications such as propylthiouracil tablets, glibenclamide tablets, dydrogesterone tablets, levothyroxine sodium tablets, and ethinylestradiol cyproterone acetate tablets can be used to treat endocrine disorders.
1. Propylthiouracil Tablets: This medication is primarily used to treat hyperthyroidism. When abnormal secretion of thyroid hormones leads to hyperthyroidism, which in turn can trigger endocrine disorders, propylthiouracil tablets may be taken under medical guidance to improve the condition.
2. Glibenclamide Tablets: Elevated blood glucose levels can also affect endocrine balance. Glibenclamide tablets, as antidiabetic drugs, may be used under a doctor's supervision to regulate endocrine disorders accompanied by elevated blood sugar levels.
3. Dydrogesterone Tablets: These are suitable for symptoms such as menstrual irregularities caused by endocrine disorders in women. Dydrogesterone tablets can improve menstrual cycle disorders.
4. Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets: This medication is used to treat endocrine disorders caused by hypothyroidism. By supplementing thyroid hormone to replace normal thyroid function, it helps maintain metabolic balance in the body.
5. Ethinylestradiol Cyproterone Acetate Tablets: These tablets regulate hormone levels in the body, reduce androgens, and improve symptoms such as menstrual disorders, hirsutism, and acne caused by polycystic ovary syndrome.
These medications must be used under the guidance of a physician; self-medication or擅自 changing medications is not advised.
