Antithyroid medications are used to slow down the thyroid gland's ability to produce thyroid hormones. The most common antithyroid medications are propylthiouracil (PTU) and methimazole (Tapazole). These medications are most commonly prescribed to patients diagnosed with hyperthyriodism or Graves' disease.

Can Myostatin supplementation in turn lower natural Myostatin levels?
My human physiology is a bit rusty but if I remember correctly hormone supplementation can inhibit the body's ability to produce that hormone on its own. So my question is this: could supplementation with myostatin (GDF8) effect (read: lower or shut down) the body's ability to produce the hormone on it's own?

Is Thyroxine safe medication?
Thyroxine is a hormone secreted by the thyroid (hence the name) gland in the neck. The medication you are talking about is merely a man-made form of this natural hormone. In this aspect, it can hardly be called a medication, just like insulin is a man-made type of a natural hormone available in the human body. Personally I would call it a "hormone supplement" rather than medication. Various brands produce this hormone supplement under different names. One that is commonly known is "L-Thyroxine" of Sanofi Aventis. As long as you are diagnosed with hypo-thyroidism and as long as you use it in full accordance with your doctor's prescription, it is totally safe to use.
