aminoglutethimide and Hypothyroidism

aminoglutethimide has been researched along with Hypothyroidism in 6 studies

Aminoglutethimide: An aromatase inhibitor that is used in the treatment of advanced BREAST CANCER.
aminoglutethimide : A dicarboximide that is a six-membered cyclic compound having ethyl and 4-aminophenyl substituents at the 3-position.

Hypothyroidism: A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.
