A review on nanomedicines in treatment of thyroid and their applications in management of thyroid disorders

Abstract

Thyroid disease is a major issue all over the world. Thyroid illness is also very common in India. Numerous thyroid disease studies have revealed that 42 million Indians are affected by the disease. Thyroid ailments are classified into five types in India: hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, goitre and iodine deficiency disorders, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and thyroid cancer. The epidemiology of these five diseases will be the subject of this review. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy has been used to treat hypothyroidism for over a century. For the majority of the twentieth century, the first pharmacological treatments were natural thyroid preparations (thyroid extract, desiccated thyroid, or thyroglobulin), which contained both thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) (T3). This article discusses briefly the current treatment options for common thyroid issues.
