Thyronorm 50 mcg

Thyronorm 50 mcg is levothyroxine sodium tablets. The active ingredient, Levothyroxine, is identical to that produced in the human thyroid gland. It is used in the management of hypothyroidism. It is prescribed as replacement therapy in primary (thyroidal), secondary (pituitary), and tertiary (hypothalamic) congenital or acquired hypothyroidism. The medicine belongs to thyroid agents primarily used to treat underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland cannot make enough thyroid hormone, which helps the body regulate and use energy. The thyroid controls the functions of the heart and digestive system. The body can't function properly without the right amount of these hormones. The commonly reported symptoms of this medicine include fatigue and weight gain. At the same time, other symptoms include dry skin, too much or too few menses, constipation, easy fatigue, lack of energy, cold even in warm weather, and weight gain. Timely diagnosis and right treatment of hypothyroidism are important to restore normal and mental activity. Thyronorm tablet has Thyroxine which replaces or provides more thyroid hormone in the body when the body becomes unable to produce enough thyroid hormone naturally.   

Administer Thyronorm as a single daily dose, on an empty stomach, one half to one hour before breakfast. Administer at least four hours before or after drugs known to interfere with Thyronorm absorption. Your doctor will evaluate you for dose adjustments when regularly administering certain foods within one hour that may affect levothyroxine absorption. Give the medicine to infants and children who cannot swallow intact tablets by crushing the tablet in a small amount of water and immediately administering the suspension by spoon. Do not give in to foods that decrease absorption of Thyronorm, such as soybean-based infant preparation.

The dose for hypothyroidism or pituitary TSH suppression depends on various factors, including the patient's age, body weight, cardiovascular status, concomitant medical condition-based medications, co-administered foods, and the specific nature of the condition being treated. The condition is naturally being treated.

Thyroid hormones, including Thyronorm, either alone or with other therapeutic agents, should not be used to treat weight loss or obesity.

Thyronorm tablets should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders, including coronary artery disease, angina, and hypertension, and in the elderly with a greater likelihood of occult cardiac disease. For such patients, doctors usually prescribe a lower dose of Levothyroxine sodium. Thyroid hormones, alone or with other therapeutic agents, should not be used to treat obesity or weight loss.

Thyronorm 50 mcg may cause weight loss but should not be prescribed or taken to treat obesity
