Inhibiting the synthesis of thyroid hormones: PTU blocks the enzyme thyroid peroxidase (TPO), which is necessary for the conversion of iodine into thyroid hormones.<br>2. Reducing the release of thyroid hormones: PTU also decreases the release of pre-formed thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland.<br><br>By doing so, PTU slows down the production of thyroid hormones in the body, thereby reducing the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
