i have been taken thyronorm (thyroxin 100) 100mg for past 3yrs but i have no idea ,which type of my thyroid disease means its hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism?. please define this. ## Hyperthyroidism simply means your thyroid makes too much thyroid hormone. Your thyroid is a gland in the front of your neck. It controls your metabolism, which is how your body turns food into energy. It also affects your heart, muscles, bones, and cholesterol. Having too much thyroid hormone can make a lot of things in your body speed up. You may lose weight quickly, have a fast heartbeat, sweat a lot, or feel nervous and moody. Or you may have no symptoms at all. Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) early symptoms can include: Being more sensitive to cold; Constipation; Depression; Fatigue or feeling sl...

hi. .my height is 155cm n weight is 66kgs.. i put on 13 kgs in 2 months. my physician told me to go for a thyroid test.. my tsh level was high and prolactin too.. i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. He prescribed me thyronorm 50mcg. he told me that i l loose weight once i start taking the pills...i v read in many posts that thyronorm will increase weight whereas some says it will reduce weight.. m still not clear with the concept. i really want to loose weight. i would b glad if u cleared my doubt.

i am 50. and suffering from joints pain of all parts of body,,severe pain in legs joints,shoulders,,weakeness,,pristate problems.thyroid problems,,and my dr. has given me NURODAY and other tonics....but i have read somewhere that only 2 to 5% mecobalamin absorbs in body....awhat is the fact ?...how much it absorbs and how much it works in body compares to its price ## This is a form of vitamin B12 and your body can absorb more, because it is actually known that too much of it can also be dangerous. As to comparing that to the price, I can't help you with that, because this is not available in the U.S. and I have no information on the pricing. Have you tried discussing these issues with your doctor or pharmacist?

I have LS straightening, osteophytes formation,annular tears with posterior herniation in L4,L5 and S1. have pain and burning sensation in LS region and in left leg,especially knee. Thyroid levels are normal but thyroid antibodies is 660 [ref range 20-60], Vit D3 levels are also insufficient. I have been advised thyronorm 25 OD, cal tablets, pregeb 75M BD. After 1 and half week of the intake, I am feeling extreme weakness in lower limb and in left side upper limb. I am having continuous tremors since yesterday. ## Have you consulted your doctor? It may be a side effect or reaction to either the Levothyroxine in the Thyronorm, or the Pregabalin/Methycobalamin in the Pregeb-M, however, it could also be due to several other causes, such as the low vitamin D, or some other medical condition...

I'm taking Thyronorm 25, Gemer 2 Ramister 2.5 & Nitrcontin 2.6 - one each daily for six years. I don't have ischaemic problem now. Can I discontnue nitrocontin now? ## Have you discussed this with your doctor? You may not be currently suffering an ischemic problem, because the medications are doing their job and keeping it under control. It could return, at any time, if this is the case and you suddenly just stop on or more medications. Nitrocontin contains the active ingredient Glyceryl Trinitrate, it's commonly used to treat angina and heart failure. The Thyronorm contains Levothyroxine, it is used to treat Thyroid disorders.

So I am having Thyronorm 25mcg-4 tablets daily morning in empty stomach. Is it advisable to take this tablet or else am i taking life risk? If i am not using thyronorm, i feel my body bulkiness .My menstural periods have also become irregular. If I stop thyronorm for few days, immediately I am getting my periods. Please guide me in this regard. Will be waiting for your reply in anticipation. ## There are always risks associated with the use of any medication, however, there are also risks associated with letting any medical condition go untreated.

. I still have the usual thyroid symptoms - lethargy, lack of energy, body pain, fuzzy mind, poor concentration, short term memory loss, bloating, bodyache even after the regular medication of Thyroxine 100 - Lab Test - . Value 2.37 - Units uIU/ml - normal range is 0.30 - 5.5. Should I increase or decrease the dose of 100.

I absolutely HATE HATE HATE taking this pill in the morning and having to drink a full glass of water, and then waiting another hour before coffee or food. I understand that morning is the optimum time, but do any of you take it other times, like at bedtime? Any adverse affects? ## I have no experience with using this, but have you tried asking your doctor or pharmacist if changing the time of day that you take it will make a difference? They would be the best ones to ask about it. Everything I am reading says it should be taken a half hour to an hour, before you eat anything. Thus, I am not sure if there is a specific reason that it must be taken in the morning, there are some times when a doctor recommends this solely because they want a patient to get in the habit of taking it at the...

I have been on this dosage for a couple of years now and have been steadily gaining weight ever since. I have changed my eating habits and have been exercising....but the weight just isnt coming off! I think this medication is preventing me from losing the weight....any answers out there? ## Have you discussed the issue with your doctor? The weight gain may be due to your Thyroid problem itself, a natural part of aging or the medication, so it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. Thus, a consult with your doctor is really necessary to try and get to the root of the problem. ## well let me tell you that my doctor also prescribed me the same medication because supposely i had a thyroid problem wish it make me go from 125lbs to 175lbs i gain weight like crazy and everytime i commented...

M on one side. Other side scored with L on the left side of the score and 7 on the right side of the score. ## Based on the description provided, I can confirm your pill to be Levothyroxine sodium (88 mcg). NOTE: This pill is noted to be light green and not light blue. I suppose it could easily be mistaken in different lighting or photographs. This medicine is a hormone replacement usually given to patients with thyroid problems, specifically, hypothyroidism. For more information about this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back and I will be happy to help you.

I've been taking Levothyroxine 150 mcg (hypothyroidism) for the past ten years. Up until a month and half ago my doctor increased my medication to 2 mg. I'm noticing a high volume of hair loss, does this ever stop? Will the hair loss issue, subside? Very concerned. ## Unfortunately, hair loss is a normal side effect of this medication and, while not everyone experiences it, it usually does not subside, most people do experience it as long as they continue to take the medication. It tends to be a more severe problem at higher dosages, so it may abate if your dosage is lowered in the future, but there is really no way to say with any certainty, since everyone is different. Have you discussed the issue with your doctor? ## It does stop after awhile on it and your body adjusts to th...

Pink heart shaped pill marked GP on one side with a line through the middle on the other. I was told it is cytomel T3 medication. ## They don't provide a description of the tablets, but the GP marking is used on all products manufactured by Geneza Pharmaceuticals and they do make a generic Cytomel tablet that contains 25mcgs of Liothyronine, used to treat Thyroid disorders. Where was it found/obtained? You can learn more about the medication here:
