PG - 809-24 LID - B978-0-7020-4087-0.00054-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/B978-0-7020-4087-0.00054-1 [doi] AB - Endocrine drugs are agents directed to a malfunctioning endocrine path. Several agents are secreted in or target the nervous system, and are thus more prone to cause neurologic adverse events (AEs). This chapter focuses on commonly used endocrine agents directed to the hypothalamus-pituitary axis, thyroid, and antidiabetic agents. The therapeutic agents are discussed in terms of indication, mechanism of action, description, and frequency of AEs, and risk factors for occurrence where available. CI - (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
