Thyronorm 25Mcg Tablet Health Feed

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Usually thyroxine is prescribed only when TSH levels go beyond 10 mU/L, or there are troublesome symptoms of hypothyroidism are present even at lower than 10 mU/L TSH. Another situation is if her Anti TPO antibodies are more than normal then also it is prescribed. At 7.19 mU/L there is no reason to recommend Thyroxine (unless above is true). Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Madam Hypothyroidism is a hormone (thyroxine) deficiency disease. Since this hormone is required for a number of vital day to day metabolic functions plus normal functioning of brain, it has to be supplemented every day because your thyroid is not producing less or nil thyroxine.
With 125 mcg of Levothyroxine, TSH has come down to 0.65 mU/L, which is with in normal range. But this does not mean that you can stop taking Thyroxine. This hormone needs to be take...more

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
Hypothyroidism is a hormone (thyroxine) deficiency disorder, where your thyroid gland is either not producing enough thyroxine (t4) or does not produce it at all. Therefore there is a need to give daily supplementation of this hormone for life time. There is no other option at all. One can not give "injectable" thyroxine as there is none. One has to take adequate amount of levothyroxine and maintain tsh around 3 to 4 mu/l, so that all the symptoms are ...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Hypothyroidism is a hormone deficiency disorder, hence there has to be a constant supplement of that hormone for lifetime. Therefore, treatment will have to go on for lifetime. If one is on treatment, then ideally TSH levels should be maintained between 3 to 4 mU/L, to be free from all the symptoms. Weight gain is in fact a common manifestation of hypothyroidism. So check TSH level and if it is higher than above mentioned, then there needs to be an increase in the dosage of thy...more

lybrate-user, If you are on thyroxine tablets (50 mcg), means you have hypothyroidism. It would be better if you had given total results of thyroid assay. Usually hypothyroidism leads to increased weight. Hyperthyroidism can cause weight loss. But the treatment is anti-thyroid drugs. Thanks.

Well it's slightly higher, normal range is below 35, it's indicate that you might have auto immune thyroid disorder, Soo your doctor have given 50 mcg thyroxine.

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.
