in blueprints clinical cases its given that in hyperthyroid emergency iv hydrocortison should be given to prevent peripheral conversion of t4 to t3 but i vent read this anywhere else neither in cmdt nor in washington manual.in cmdt its given that ipodate does the same job ,can anyone crosscheck it.

that is correct, but i can't explain the mechanism.
Inhibition of peripheral conversion of T4 to T3
- propylthiouracil, ipodate, propanolol, and corticosteroids have this effect
