Thyronorm 88mcg Tablet is used to manage hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones. This medication helps restore hormone levels in the body, supporting normal energy levels and metabolism.
Before starting treatment, your doctor will perform a blood test to determine the appropriate dose. After beginning the medication, you'll need regular blood tests to monitor your response, and your dosage may be adjusted accordingly. It's best to take this tablet on an empty stomach, ideally before your first meal of the day. Consistent use is important to gain the full benefits, although it may take a few weeks to notice an improvement in symptoms. In many cases, long-term or lifelong treatment is necessary. Stopping the medication suddenly may cause symptoms to return.
Most side effects occur when the dose is too high. These may include palpitations, vomiting, anxiety, diarrhea, weight loss, shaking, increased hunger, and restlessness. Once the correct dose is established, these effects typically subside. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms like a very high fever, rapid or irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure, yellowing of the skin or eyes, confusion, or seizures.
Although Thyronorm 88mcg may lead to weight loss, it is not intended for the treatment of obesity. If you become pregnant during treatment, notify your doctor promptly, as your dose might need to be changed. Because other medications can affect how this drug works, always consult your doctor before starting any new treatments.
