Thyronorm 100mcg Tablet

Product Overview
Thyronorm 100mcg Tablet is prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormone. This medication supplements the missing thyroid hormone, helping to regulate the body’s metabolism and energy levels.

Usage and Dosage
Before starting Thyronorm, your doctor will perform blood tests to determine the appropriate dose. Regular monitoring through blood tests is necessary to ensure the dosage remains effective, with adjustments made as needed. It is recommended to take the tablet on an empty stomach, ideally before breakfast, to maximize absorption. Consistent daily use is important to achieve the best results, and it may take several weeks before symptoms improve. Long-term use is often required to manage the condition, and discontinuing the medicine can lead to a return of symptoms.

Potential Side Effects
Side effects typically occur if the dose is too high and may include symptoms such as irregular heartbeat (palpitations), vomiting, anxiety, diarrhea, weight loss, tremors, increased appetite, and restlessness. These side effects usually subside once the correct dose is established. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience high fever, rapid or irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, yellowing of the skin or eyes, confusion, or seizures.

Thyronorm can cause weight loss but should not be used as a weight-loss medication. Pregnant women should inform their doctor if they become pregnant during treatment, as dose adjustments might be necessary. Many other medications can interact with Thyronorm, so always inform your doctor about any other drugs you are taking.
