AB The  thyroid  secretes  2  types  of  hormones:  iodine-containing  amino  acids  (thyroxine  and  triiodothyronine)  and  a  peptide  (calcitonin).  Thyroxine  and  triiodothyronine  have  broad  effects  on  growth,  development,  and  metabolism.  Calcitonin  is  important  in  calcium  metabolism  and  is  discussed  in  Chapter  42.  This  chapter  describes  the  drugs  used  in  the  treatment  of  hypothyroidism  and  hyperthyroidism.
