THYRONORM 62.5 MG

About

Thyronorm 62.5 MG contains Levothyroxine, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It is primarily used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones are crucial for regulating the body's metabolism, energy levels, growth, and development. When the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone, various bodily functions slow down, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and dry skin.

Levothyroxine works by replacing the missing thyroid hormone, thereby restoring normal metabolic function. The dosage is carefully titrated based on individual patient needs, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, and clinical response to ensure optimal therapeutic effect and avoid symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Regular monitoring of thyroid function tests is essential during treatment to adjust the dose as required.
