Thyronorm 150mcg

Thyronorm 150 mcg

Thyronorm 150 mg is a prescription treatment for hypothyroidism. It has the active ingredient Levothyroxine, a synthetic thyroid hormone that acts exactly like thyroxine secreted by the thyroid gland. The goal of treatment is to replace missing thyroid hormone and relieve associated symptoms. The thyroid medication is extremely effective to replace thyroxine hormone in all forms of underactive thyroid function or after the thyroid gland's surgical removal. It may be used to prevent the recurrence of new goitres after goitre surgery in patients with normal thyroid function. Your doctor may also prescribe Levothyroxine for the treatment of malignant goitre surgery. It effectively treats malignant thyroid tumours, particularly after surgery to stop the tumour's recurrence. The medication should only be used under the supervision of a doctor as it should only be taken by patients who can tolerate levothyroxine products.  

Usage Instructions

In most cases, only one tablet needs to be taken. Thyronorm 150 may be prescribed to treat underactive thyroid functions in adults. Your doctor will tell you the correct dose of the medicine based on your condition. You should take this medicine as long as your doctor tells you.
