CompositionThyronorm Tablet is used to treat an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). It is a single-ingredient medicine containing thyroxine, a synthetic form of a thyroid hormone, and belongs to a class of medicines called thyroid hormones.
This medicine works by replacing the thyroid hormone that your body does not make in sufficient amounts, which helps balance your energy levels and metabolism. Take it on a regular basis, before your first meal of the day on an empty stomach, as prescribed. Your doctor will decide the dose using a blood test and may adjust it after regular follow-up blood tests.
It may take a few weeks for your symptoms to improve, and you may need to take this medicine for the rest of your life. Symptoms will most likely return if you stop taking it, so keep your follow-up blood tests.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have heart problems, diabetes, adrenal or pituitary gland problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and tell them about all other medicines you take. Tell your doctor promptly if you notice chest pain, a racing or irregular heartbeat or marked weight loss.
