Thyronorm 12.5mcg Tablet

Overview
Thyronorm 12.5mcg Tablet is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormone. This medication supplements the hormone deficiency to help regulate metabolism and maintain the body’s energy balance.

Before Starting Treatment
Your doctor will perform blood tests to determine the appropriate dose before you begin treatment. Regular blood tests will continue during therapy to monitor its effectiveness, and your dose may be adjusted accordingly. For best results, take the tablet on an empty stomach, preferably before breakfast. Consistent use is important, and symptom improvement may take several weeks. In many cases, treatment is lifelong, and stopping the medicine can lead to a return of symptoms.

Possible Side Effects
Side effects often result from taking more than the required dose. These can include irregular heartbeat, nausea, anxiety, diarrhea, weight loss, tremors, increased appetite, and restlessness. Most side effects lessen once the dose is properly adjusted. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience high fever, rapid or irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, yellowing of skin or eyes, confusion, or seizures.

This medicine may cause weight loss but is not meant for weight control or obesity treatment. Inform your doctor promptly if you become pregnant, as your dose may need to be modified. Also, tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking, since many drugs can interact with this treatment.
