What is another word for antithyroid?
Pronunciation: [ˌantɪθˈa͡ɪɹɔ͡ɪd] (IPA) 
Antithyroid is a term used to describe medications or treatments that inhibit the production of thyroid hormones. Synonyms for antithyroid include antithyroidal, thyroid-inhibiting, thyrostatic, antithyreoactive, and thyroxine-inhibiting. These terms all describe the same action of suppressing the function of the thyroid gland, which is responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism.

The use of antithyroid medications can help bring hormone levels back to normal and relieve symptoms associated with these conditions.
