Thyronorm 50mcg

Since last 1 year I am taking Thyronorm 50mcg when my TSH was 15.6. Presently since last 6 month or so the TSH level is 2 to 3 . I take TSH & FT4 test regularly. Now a days I have feeling of upset stomach, gastritis, constipation. Should I reduce the doses to 25mcg. or stop taking medicine ## TSH 2-3 is fine. Consult INMAS Timarpur Delhi ## Have you consulted your doctor? They are the only person that will be able to help you decide what's causing the problem and if you need to adjust your medication. In addition, Gastritis isn't just suffering from a case of gas, it's more serious than that: ## My Tsh IS 100 MY DOCTOR RECOMMENDED 50 MCG THYROXINE 2 TAB DAILY HOW MANY DAYS I USE THIS MEDICINE

I am 24 yrs old. My tsh was 26 and t3/t4 was normal. My physician prescribed me 50mcg thyronorm so I have been taking it since september and am experiencing weight loss. Once I checked my tsh, t3 and t4 it was normal. Is it necessary to continue this medication for lifelong treatment? What should I do? ## You should take the medication as long as your doctor directs you to do so, it may be the only reason your levels are testing normal, now. As reported by the NIH, weight loss can be a side effect, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and hair loss. Are you on any other medications?

I am a 36 yr old female. Diagnosed with hypothyroidism with very high antibody titre. Initially prescribed with levothyroxine 50mcg, weight gain of 6 lbs per year. Had to change endocrinologist, new prescription for thyronorm 75mcg. Current weight gain is 4 kgs per month, after taking thyronorm 75 for 30 days. Also, thyronorm intake resulted in joint pain, which was not experienced during levothyroxine intake. Should I revert back to levothyroxine 50 or continue thyronorm 75? ## They are both the same medication, Levothyroxine, the Thyronorm is just a brand name for it, so the only difference is in the dosage. You are taking a higher amount of it now, which could explain the joint pain side effect. Learn more Thyronorm details here. Have you talked to your new doctor about the joint pai...

hello Doctor...my daughter is 3 years old and is under thyronorm medication since birth (congenital hypothyroidism).She takes 62.5 mcg of thyronorm every morning regularly. This morning she just chewed about 10-12 additional 50mcg tablets in a flash before we could realise. We immediately made her vomit things and took her to a nearby hospital who also sent a tube through her noose and cleaned her stomach. But the doctor has asked us to be at the hospital for a 24hr observation. We are worried, so looking to your suggestion on anything else we need to do. ## I am not a doctor, but keeping her at the hospital as they have instructed was likely the best idea. That way, if something happens, there is a medical team ready and waiting to help her. Learn more Thyronorm details here. How did t...

A friend has taken 20 pills of thyronorm 25mcg out of hysteria.. What might be the repercussions? Please reply urgently. ## If you have reason to fear for the life and health of a loved one, you should contact your nearest emergency services or take them to the nearest emergency department, rather than posting online and waiting for an answer. And overdose of any medication is dangerous and risks death, organ damage and other serious health repercussions. High doses of the Levothyroxine in this creates the risk of seizures, strokes, heart palpitations and extremely high blood pressure. Even if she showed no ill effects, at the time she took them, she needs to see a doctor, because she could have done other damage to her body. How is she doing? ## I take 50mcg thyronorm daily.

You should follow your doctor's instructions and take whatever medication and dosage that they advise. As to your menstrual cycle, thyroid issues can affect that, just like the hormones that affect your menstrual cycle can affect your thyroid. Have you seen a gynecologist?

My TSH was 5 and my doctor started me on Thyronorm 25mcg. It was later increased to 50mcg which I have been taking for almost 4 years. Is there any way to stop this medication or do I have to take it lifelong? And will the dose increase as the time passes? I am 26 years old and do regular exercise and try my best to eat healthy. Are there any side effects associated with the long term use of Thyronorm? I have started noticing weight gain. ## Generally, if you have a thyroid disorder, you will have to take the medication for the rest of your life, but the dosage will depend on your TSH levels, so it may vary in the future. The NIH lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hair loss, mood swings, and weight changes.
