o Non-radioactive iodine can be used to distract the thyroid tissue
Cimetidine—intensifies the response
Beta blockers—diminish the benefits by suppressing the insulin release
Term 7 of 150
o How do Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) work?
Lowers intraocular pressure by reducing aqueous humor production and

Reduces intraocular pressure by decreasing production of aqueous humor
Treatment of gerd and hypersecretory states
