About Thyronil-50 Tablet

Thyronil-50 Tablet belongs to 'thyroid agents', primarily used to treat underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Hypothyroidism is a chronic disorder, which happens when the thyroid gland (located in the front lower part of the neck), is unable to make enough thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland is responsible for releasing hormones, which are composed of tri-iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), which helps the body to regulate and use energy. The thyroid controls functions of the heart and digestive system, without the right amount of these hormones, the body is unable to function properly. Early symptoms of this disease are fatigue and weight gain. While other symptoms include feeling cold even in warm weather, dry skin or too much or too few menses (in women), easy fatigueness, constipation, weight gain,  or even lack of energy. Right diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroid are important to restore normal physical and mental activity.

Thyronil-50 Tablet contains 'Thyroxine sodium' which replaces or provides more thyroid hormone in the body when the body is unable to naturally produce enough thyroid hormone (Thyroxine) to meet the requirements of the body. In this way, Thyronil-50 Tablet helps to replace missing thyroid hormone for proper digestion, muscle functioning, brain development, and maintenance of bones.

Take Thyronil-50 Tablet exactly in the same way as suggested by the doctor. Usually, Thyronil-50 Tablet does not cause any undesirable effects in the body. Still, its overdose may cause diarrhoea, muscle spasm, weight loss, feeling hot even in cool environments, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, irritability,  menstrual irregularities (in women), and skin rash. Thus, it is better to take Thyronil-50 Tablet is the same dose, and if you by chance, miss it then do not double the dose for the sake of getting results fast. If a person experiences any of these signs, then their doctor may suggest them to undertake a blood test called 'thyroid function test' which checks three hormones related to thyroid - TSH, T3, T4 to check if the thyroid gland is functioning normally or not.

Thyronil-50 Tablet can not be given via mouth in patients dealing with myxedema coma. Your doctor may suggest calcium or vitamin D supplements with Thyronil-50 Tablet to improve bone density associated with thyroid hormone overreplacement. Consult with your doctor if the symptoms of low thyroid hormone-like weight gain, slow heartbeat, or sensitivity to cold, tiredness, muscle aches, constipation, dry skin, worsens or persists after a couple of days of taking this drug.  If Thyronil-50 Tablet is taken by persons having diabetes mellitus, then it may worsen glycemic control and result in increased antidiabetic agent or insulin requirements. Thus it is important to carefully monitor the blood glucose level while starting, changing, or stopping thyroid hormone with Thyronil-50 Tablet . The doctor decides the right dose of Thyronil-50 Tablet after checking the body weight and thyroid function test report. Regular monitoring of thyroid function is important to check the effectiveness of the medicine.
