Thyronorm 100Mcg Tablet Health Feed

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is under active and does not produce sufficient amounts of thyroid hormones required in the body. The most cause of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an auto immune disorder in which the antibodies are produced by the immune system against its own tissue, which in turn attacks the thyroid gland resulting in hypothyroidism.Severe Iodine defficiency can also lead to hypothyroidism .

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
I am sure the day Thyroxine was prescribed to you all the precautions regarding taking the tablet and about food etc must have been explained to you. I am a bit surprised because of this question. Thyroxine tablet should be taken early morning on empty stomach, there after nothing should be taken for at least 1 to 1 and half hour. Plus you should avoid soy beans and soy containing foods. Other precautions include - always take whole grain flour for prep...more

Better to take such type of treatment go for homoeopathic treatment. Its is safe and effective. And also you don't need life long medication. Certain duration if you do proper medication you may not need further any stress to continuing your complain again. And also you may get better in your all complain like GERD, vitamin deficiency.

Mr Satyeshwar, TSH level mentioned (9 milli units / ml) is after taking 50 mcg throxine for some time or is it before starting the treatment? If it is current, that is after taking treatment, then dose of thyroxine needs to be increased. Plus looking at height and weight your BMI is 30.12 kg/M2, which shows grade 1 obesity. Your ideal body weight should be 58 kgs. Hence regular exercise and diet control also required.

Hello, The solution is to bring TSH level down to 3 to 4 mU/L, then only all the symptoms related to hypothyroidism are in control. You will have to check TSH level after 6 to 8 weeks of starting treatment with thyroxine or the current dose that is being taken. If TSH level is not as mentioned above then dose may have to be increased. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Since you are already on treatment with Thyroxine tablets (50 mcg/d), you will have to look at the TSH level, it should be maintained <3 mU/L to be free from all the symptoms. I can definitely guide you in controlling the condition effectively and be free from all the problems. If you come in a private conversation with following details: T4, T3 & TSH levels, weight and height, current dietary pattern and extent of daily exercise, then I will be able to guide spe...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
For treating hypothyroidism the only therapy is to take adequate dosage of Levothyroxine and bring TSH level to around 3 to 4 mU/L. Since it is a hormone (Thyroxine) deficiency disorder, only supplementation of that hormone in the form of Levothyroxine is the treatment. Both Ayurveda and Homeopathy have no other treatment. Even though a lot of claims are made about treating or curing the condition. Thanks.

Can you let us know what the initial tsh was and if tpo antibodies were checked or not. If you have high levels (titres) of tpo antibodies you may have to continue thyroxine long-term

Yu have to increase to 25 mg thyroxine ( eltroxin) and check again after 2 weeks and then reduce or increase further if needed

Ingested thyroxine, which is itself probably of modest physiologic significance, is rapidly partially converted to triiodothyronine (t3), the active form of thyroid hormone. Both thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels in serum rise within 1-2 hours of ingestion. Agents that inhibit t4>t3 conversion provide one approach to treatment. In children and adolescents, the clinical course is often very mild. Patients in this age range may ingest a full flask of lt4 with 90-100 tablets (100 or 150 mcg/tab...more
