  • Antihormonal medications: These medications block the action of overproduced hormones such as antithyroid medications for hyperthyroidism and glucocorticoid antagonists for Cushing's syndrome.

  • Other medications: Different medications are used to manage specific symptoms or complications associated with endocrine disorders. These include pain relievers for arthritis, blood pressure medications for hypertension, and cholesterol-lowering medications for dyslipidemia.
