Which of the following is NOT used in the treatment for thyroid storm?

Inorganic iodide therapy
Beta Blocker
Metformin
Systemic steroid

The correct answer is: Metformin

While all of these treatments may be used for different conditions, only Metformin is not used in the treatment of thyroid storm. Inorganic iodide therapy is used to reduce thyroid hormone levels, beta blockers are used to manage symptoms such as rapid heart rate, and systemic steroids are used to reduce inflammation in the body. Metformin is used to treat type 2 diabetes and would not be effective in managing the symptoms of thyroid storm.
