THYRONORM 75 MCG 120 Tablets

Thyronorm 75 mcg Information

Thyronorm 75 mcg is a synthetic thyroid hormone that replaces thyroid
hormone in the body when natural thyroid hormone synthesis is insufficient to
fulfill the body’s demands. Thyronorm 75 mcg is generally used to treat
hypothyroidism, or decreased thyroid hormone output. It contains thyroxine, a
synthetic thyroid hormone that is chemically identical to the thyroid hormone
generated by our gland. Thyroxine aids in the replacement of thyroid hormone
and/or the relief of thyroid gland stress.

Hypothyroidism is a chronic disorder in which the thyroid gland (located in
the neck behind the throat) is unable to generate adequate thyroid hormone.
Thyroid hormones, which govern the body’s metabolism, are made up of
tri-iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The body’s metabolism slows down and
the person feels less energy when they have an underactive thyroid. Other signs
and symptoms include fatigue, constipation, weight gain, feeling chilly even in
hot weather, dry skin, too much or too little menses (in women), and even a
depressed mood. Hypothyroidism must be treated in order for the body’s
metabolism to return to normal (basal metabolic rate).

If you have any of the aforementioned symptoms, your doctor will recommend a
blood test called a “thyroid function test,” which examines three
thyroid hormones: TSH, T3, and T4. TSH levels that are too high and T3/T4
levels that are too low suggest that your thyroid gland isn’t working properly.
Your doctor will change your Thyronorm 75 mcg dose based on your body weight
and thyroid function test results. It might take a few weeks for the drug to
have full effect. It’s a good idea to get your thyroid function checked on a
regular basis to make sure you’re getting the right dose of Thyronorm 75 mcg.

Thyronorm 75 mcg should be taken as directed by your doctor. Overdosage of Thyronorm
75 mcg can induce headaches, anxiety, restlessness, irritability, diarrhea,
muscular spasm, weight loss, feeling hot even in cold circumstances,
menstruation irregularities (in women), and skin rash. Do not take a double
dosage if you miss a dose since it may cause significant negative effects.

For your bone health, your doctor may prescribe calcium or vitamin D
supplements in addition to Thyronorm 75 mcg. Thyronorm 75 mcg should not be
used for weight loss on its own. People with diabetes who use Thyronorm 75 mcg
may have changes in blood glucose control, which may need the use of more
antidiabetic drugs or insulin. As a result, patients with diabetes should seek
medical advice and closely monitor their blood glucose levels after beginning,
altering, or ending thyroid hormone therapy.

Thyronorm 75 mcg uses include: Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the
thyroid gland is underactive (underactive thyroid)

Medicinal Advantages

Thyronorm 75 mcg regulates the thyroid gland’s activity (hypothyroidism) and
alleviates symptoms of low thyroid hormones such as unexplained weight gain,
weariness, sensitivity to the cold, and others. As a result, it aids in the
replacement of the body’s own natural thyroid hormone, which is necessary for
both mental and physical wellness. Thyronorm 75 mcg, on the other hand, should
not be used to treat obesity or weight reduction.

Use Instructions

This drug should be taken once a day, on an empty stomach, half an hour
before breakfast, with a full glass of water. However, if you have any doubts
about using Thyronorm 75 mcg, you should visit a doctor.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.

Thyronorm 75 mcg Side Effects

Thyronorm 75 mcg, like other drugs, can produce adverse effects, though not
everyone experiences them. Incorrect dose or irregular ingestion are the most
common causes of side effects. Palpitations, muscular spasms, headaches,
anxiety, irritability, insomnia, tremors, muscle weakness, increased hunger,
weight loss, diarrhea, heat intolerance, menstruation abnormalities, and skin
rash are all possible side effects. These unpleasant side effects are seldom
noticed when taken in the correct dosage as suggested by your doctor. However,
if these symptoms continue to concern you, consult your doctor.

Drug Recommendations

Soybean flour, cottonseed meal, cabbage, cauliflower, walnuts, dietary
fiber, calcium, and calcium-fortified beverages, among other foods, may
interfere with Thyroxine’s function. As a result, if at all possible, avoid
eating these meals within several hours of dosage. Thyronorm 75 mcg should not
be given to people who have had an acute myocardial infarction or who have
excessive blood pressure. Before using Thyroxine, it is essential that you have
your heart function closely monitored by a doctor. Long-term usage of Thyronorm
75 mcg can harm your bones, causing osteoporosis and an increased risk of bone
fractures. As a result, your doctor may prescribe calcium or vitamin D
supplements in addition to Thyronorm 75 mcg to help you maintain your bone
health. Thyronorm 75 mcg should not be utilized just for weight reduction
purposes. People with diabetes who use Thyronorm 75 mcg may experience changes
in blood glucose control, necessitating the use of more antidiabetic drugs or
insulin. Thyronorm 75 mcg is not indicated for weight loss or the treatment of
thyroid cancer.

Interactions Between Drugs

Thyronorm 75 mcg interacts with medications such as appetite suppressants
(phentermine), acid reflux medications (esomeprazole), anti-diabetic
medications (metformin), calcium/vitamin D, and neuro-related medications
(amphetamine/dextroamphetamine). So, if you’re on any of these medications,
talk to your doctor before taking Thyroxine.

Drug-Food Interactions: Tell your doctor if you’re taking any homoeopathic,
ayurveda, Unani, or over-the-counter medications. These drugs may interact with
Thyronorm 75 mcg and impair its effectiveness. Foods including soybean flour,
cottonseed meal, walnuts, dietary fiber, calcium, and calcium-fortified
beverages may further reduce Thyronorm 75 mcg absorption. So, if at all
possible, stay away from these meals.

Thyroid hormones increase the workload of the heart and the body’s oxygen
consumption. Drug-Disease Interaction: Thyroid hormones increase the workload
of the heart and the body’s oxygen consumption. As a result, in heart patients
(cardiovascular illnesses) such as high blood pressure, chest discomfort
(angina), and coronary artery disease, Thyronorm 75 mcg should be used with
caution. Your heart function should be checked on a regular basis. If chest
discomfort happens regularly, contact your doctor so that the dose can be
reduced.

Cautionary Note

ALCOHOL

To minimize undesirable side effects, you should avoid drinking alcohol
while taking Thyroxine.

PREGNANCY

Only take Thyroxine if your doctor has recommended it. Due to increasing
blood levels of oestrogen (female sex hormone), the requirement for Thyroxine
may increase during pregnancy; therefore, thyroid function should be monitored
periodically both during and after pregnancy. Your doctor can modify the
thyroid hormone dose in this scenario.

BREAST FEEDING

Even when using large doses of thyroxine, the quantity of thyroxine that
passes into breast milk during breastfeeding is very minimal, making it
completely safe. However, if you have any doubts, seek medical advice.

DRIVING

The hormone thyroxine has no effect on your ability to drive.

LIVER

Because there have been no known interactions with thyroxine, talk to your
doctor if you have any problems.

KIDNEY

Because thyroxine has no effect on the kidneys, it can be taken in the
specified amount. Patients with an adrenal gland problem or consequence should
visit a doctor before taking it.

No habit formation

Advice on Diet and Lifestyle

Reduce your symptoms and boost your thyroid function by eating the correct
nutrition and taking your prescription medications on a regular basis.
Hypothyroidism patients benefit from iodine, zinc, and selenium. Iodine and
selenium supplements, on the other hand, should only be used if your doctor
recommends it.

In hypothyroidism, our bodies often lose calcium (hypocalcemia) and Vitamin
D. People with hypothyroidism should choose calcium-rich diets in this
situation.

People with hypothyroidism normally have a slower metabolism, so adding
additional protein to your diet may help you speed up.

Yoga and aerobics routines might assist to enhance metabolism on a daily
basis.

People suffering from hypothyroidism should consume more vegetables, fruits,
and lean proteins. These low-calorie meals may help you avoid gaining weight.

Goitrogens (agents that interfere with the thyroid gland’s normal function)
are found in soy foods (tofu), cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, spinach,
sweet potatoes, cassava, peaches, strawberries, millet, pine nuts, peanuts, and
other foods.

Recommendations

Excessive doses may result in significant or even life-threatening toxicity
symptoms. As a result, if you forget to take Thyroxine at any time, take it as
soon as you recall. If your next dosage is approaching, you should omit the
missed dose and continue with your usual regimen as directed by your doctor.

Thyroxine should not be used to treat obesity or to help people lose weight.

Thyroxine should not be used without seeing a doctor if you have an
adrenaline or pituitary gland problem, heart disease, diabetes, or coagulation
disorders. Your dose may need to be changed.

Patients with diabetes who are using Thyroxine should talk to their doctor
before starting this medication since it can decrease glycemic control and
require more anti-diabetic medications or insulin treatment.

Thyroxine supplementation may reduce bone mineral density, especially in
postmenopausal women. As a result, talk to your doctor about the lowest dose
feasible for your bone health.

Please inform your doctor if you are taking Thyroxine before any surgery.

Thyroid function tests are normally performed on an empty stomach following
a fast of six to eight hours.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Hypothyroidism, also known as underactive thyroid, is a disorder in which
the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones to fulfill your
body’s requirements. Our body’s functioning and metabolism slow down when
thyroid hormone levels are low. Tiredness, increased sensitivity to cold,
constipation, dry skin, unexplained weight gain, swollen face, hoarseness of
voice, and muscular weakness are all symptoms of hypothyroidism. Some
hypothyroidism patients may experience calcium and vitamin D deficiency.

FAQs

Your thyroid hormone levels may fluctuate based on your age, gender, and
medical condition (like pregnancy, chronic condition or complication). TSH
levels in a 30-year-old woman may be approximately 4.2 mU/L, whereas in a
90-year-old male, they may be as high as 8.9 mU/L. Aside from that, your stress
level, food, drugs, and menstrual cycle can all affect your thyroid hormone
levels. The following is a general range to use as a guide: -A normal TSH range
is 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L. T3 levels in the normal range should be between 0.2 and
0.5 ng/dl. -A normal T4 level should be between 0.8 and 1.8 ng/dl.

If you notice signs like abrupt weight gain, exhaustion, increased
sensitivity to cold, dry skin, constipation, bloated face, muscular weakness,
anxiety, or hoarseness in your voice, you should seek medical attention. For
continued therapy, you should see an Endocrinologist/Physician.

Food should not be consumed when taking thyroxine. Please take it on an
empty stomach at least half an hour before your morning tea/coffee/breakfast.

Every month, you should have a thyroid profile test that includes T3, T4,
and TSH levels. After taking Thyroxine as suggested by your doctor on a regular
basis, you will notice a fall in your TSH level.

Thyroxine is exclusively used to treat hypothyroidism, not to lose weight.

If you notice signs like abrupt weight gain, exhaustion, increased
sensitivity to cold, dry skin, constipation, bloated face, muscular weakness,
anxiety, or hoarseness in your voice, you should seek medical attention. For
continued therapy, you should see an Endocrinologist/Physician.

Limit your daily salt consumption to less than 2300 mg. When you eat too
much salt, your blood pressure rises, especially if you have an underactive
thyroid.

An Endocrinologist may advise a pregnant lady to take a high dose of
Thyroxine to satisfy the high-level thyroid hormone demand based on the thyroid
profile test. Treatment for an underactive thyroid is essential during
pregnancy, since low thyroid hormone levels in the mother can affect both the
mother and the fetus.

If you miss a dosage of Thyroxine, do not take a duplicate dose. If you take
too much Thyroxine, you may have adverse effects such as anxiety,
sleeplessness, moderate temperature increase, blood pressure elevation, or
loose stools. In this instance, call your doctor right away and only take it if
your doctor has given you permission.

Hypothyroidism and other endocrine problems are frequently lifelong.
Stopping the drug on your own might induce an imbalance in the body, which can
lead to major metabolic problems.
