Description

Thyronorm 150mcg Tablet contains Thyroxine (Levothyroxine Sodium), a synthetic thyroid hormone used in the treatment of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland). The 150mcg strength is considered a high-dose formulation, generally prescribed to patients with significant thyroid hormone deficiency, post-thyroidectomy cases, or in thyroid cancer suppression therapy. It helps restore thyroid hormone balance, improving metabolism, energy, and overall health.

Composition:

Thyroxine (150mcg)

Indications / Uses:
Thyronorm 150mcg is prescribed for:

Hypothyroidism (primary, secondary, congenital, or acquired)
Goiter (enlargement of thyroid gland)
Thyroid cancer suppression (to prevent recurrence)
After thyroid surgery or radioiodine therapy for hormone replacement
Long-term maintenance therapy in patients requiring higher doses

How It Works:
Thyroxine (T4) is a synthetic version of the natural thyroid hormone, which regulates:

Metabolism and energy production
Heart rate and body temperature
Protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism
Growth and brain development

By supplementing thyroid hormone levels, Thyronorm 150mcg restores normal metabolic activity and prevents symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Dosage & Administration:

Take once daily on an empty stomach, at least 30–60 minutes before breakfast.
Swallow whole with water; avoid coffee, tea, or milk immediately after intake.
The 150mcg dose is used in patients requiring higher thyroid hormone replacement.
Dose is adjusted based on TSH and thyroid hormone levels, under medical supervision.

Side Effects:
Excessive doses may cause hyperthyroidism-like symptoms, such as:

Fast or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
Nervousness, irritability, or anxiety
Insomnia and restlessness
Heat intolerance, sweating
Weight loss despite increased appetite
Rare but serious: chest pain, seizures, or allergic reactions.

Precautions & Warnings:

Regular thyroid function tests are essential for dose adjustment.
Contraindicated in untreated adrenal insufficiency.
Use cautiously in patients with heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, or osteoporosis.
Pregnant women may require dose adjustments, but treatment should never be discontinued.
Not to be used as a weight-loss supplement in individuals with normal thyroid function.
