Description


Uses

Thyronorm (Thyroxine Sodium) is a derivative of levothyroxine which is administered to patients affected by underactive thyroid disease (also referred to as hypothyroidism) to replace the hormone that would usually be produced by a normally functioning thyroid. Hypothyroidism may be caused by Hashimoto`s thyroiditis (a condition in which the immune system attacks the thyroid, preventing sufficient hormone production), or because of medicines or radiation therapy.

If left untreated, high cholesterol levels can occur, which could increase the risk of serious health problems. Treatment with this medicine aims to relieve the symptoms of this condition, resulting in lower levels of cholesterol, an improvement in the function of the digestive tract, better cognitive function and other benefits. Alternative uses for this medicine include treatment or prevention of a goiter (a thyroid gland that has become enlarged).

Dosage and Administration

In most cases, patients with hypothyroidism will need to have a blood test conducted before beginning treatment with Thyronorm (Thyroxine Sodium) tablets. This is so the levels of thyroid hormone can be tested. Treatment will only be recommended if the hormone levels are considered to be too low. In most cases, patients begin to notice an improvement in their symptoms after 1 to 2 weeks, however, a few months may be required before the symptoms disappear. Patients generally need to continue treatment indefinitely. These tablets contain 125mcg of the active ingredient, and it is essential that patients take them exactly as their doctor tells them to.

Side effects

Patients undergoing treatment with Thyronorm (Thyroxine Sodium) may experience some side effects, such as:

  • Nausea
  • Weight loss
  • Sleep problems
  • Hair loss which is temporary
  • Feeling sensitive towards heat

While you are being treated, it is important to be aware of the risk of side effects. Report any reactions that occur to your doctor. In rare cases, serious side effects may occur which will require immediate medical treatment.
