In this disease the antibodies like antithyroglobulins;  anti thyroid stimulating hormones; anti thyroid binding immunoglobulins; etc

These together do given organ damage. 

These antibody to skin disease made it scaly and dermatitis occur also Mixodeama like oedeama take place. 

Ophthalmological effects like led retraction and blurring of vision take place. 




  • Related drugs

1.carbamazine and methamazine
 These are drug prevent oxidation by peroxidase enzyme of iodine at thyroglobulin. 
So the given thnigs will take place. 
..no iodination of thryoxine
..no coupling so no formation of monoiodothyronin and diaiodothyronin. 


  • So basically deplease thyroid level. 


  • Also the thyroid gland which is become enlarge will slowly go hypotrophy. 
  •  And resolve patients complain.
