Preferred Label : Eprotirome;
NCIt definition : A thyroid hormone analog with hypocholesterolemic properties. Eprotirome reduces serum
LDL cholesterol levels by increasing hepatic clearance due to increased expression
of the hepatic LDL-receptor gene, and also reduces the serum level of Lp(a) lipoprotein.
This drug was designed to have minimal uptake in nonhepatic tissues thereby avoiding
many of the adverse effects associated with thyroid hormone treatment.;
