| Propranolol |
Propranolol is a competitive antagonist at both beta, and beta2-adrenoceptor, but has membrane stabilising activity at concentrations exceeding 1-3mg/litre, though such concentrations are rarely achieved during oral therapy. Competitive beta-blockade has been demonstrated in man by a parallel shift to the right in the dose-heart rate response curve to beta-agonists such as isoprenaline. |
|
| Thiamazole |
Thiamazole inhibits dose-dependently the incorporation of iodine into tyrosine and thereby the neosynthesis of thyroid hormones. This property permits symptomatic therapy of hyperthyroidism regardless of its cause. |
