Product Overview
Thyronorm is a medication containing the active ingredient Thyroxine Sodium. It is available in tablet form, with each bottle containing 120 tablets. Thyroxine Sodium is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, which is produced naturally by the thyroid gland. Thyronorm tablets are designed to supplement or replace deficient thyroid hormone levels in individuals with hypothyroidism, a condition characterized by an underactive thyroid gland. This medication helps regulate metabolism, energy levels, and various bodily functions affected by thyroid hormone imbalance.
Uses
Thyronorm is primarily used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, hair loss, and depression. By providing synthetic thyroxine, Thyronorm helps restore normal thyroid hormone levels in the body, alleviating symptoms and improving overall well-being.
How to Use
Take Thyronorm tablets orally with a full glass of water, preferably on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before breakfast. Follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or as directed on the product label. It is important to take Thyronorm consistently at the same time each day to maintain stable hormone levels in the body. Do not crush or chew the tablets; swallow them whole.
How it Works
Thyroxine Sodium, the active ingredient in Thyronorm, is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine. It functions similarly to endogenous thyroxine, regulating metabolism and energy production in the body. By supplementing with Thyronorm, individuals with hypothyroidism can compensate for the insufficient production of thyroid hormone, alleviating symptoms and restoring normal physiological function.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of Thyronorm is individualized based on the patient’s age, weight, thyroid function tests, and response to treatment. Typically, the initial dose for adults is 25 to 50 micrograms per day, with adjustments made in increments of 25 to 50 micrograms every 4 to 6 weeks until the optimal dose is reached. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.

Common Side Effects
Common side effects of Thyronorm may include headache, fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, and changes in menstrual periods. These side effects are usually mild and transient, resolving on their own as the body adjusts to the medication. However, if any side effects persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
Warnings
Thyronorm should not be used to treat obesity or weight loss, as excessive doses may cause serious or life-threatening side effects. Do not stop taking Thyronorm suddenly without consulting your healthcare provider, as abrupt discontinuation may lead to worsening symptoms of hypothyroidism. Inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking, as they may interact with Thyronorm.
