Thyrostatic is a term that relates to drugs or treatments that slow down or limit the activity of the thyroid gland. However, there exist other terminologies that describe the same concept. These include antithyroid agents, thyroid inhibitors, thyromimetic agents, thyroperoxidase inhibitors, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) inhibitors. Antithyroid agents specifically prevent the synthesis of thyroid hormones, while thyroid inhibitors generally impede the production, conversion, or release of thyroid hormones. Similarly, thyromimetic agents are compounds that mimic thyroid hormones, while thyroperoxidase inhibitors inhibit the enzyme responsible for iodination of tyrosine residues. TRH inhibitors, on the other hand, block the release of the thyroid-stimulating hormone that activates the thyroid gland.
