Thyronorm 150mcg Tablet

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.

• Fast or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)

• Nervousness, irritability, or anxiety
