Description:

Thyronorm 150mcg Tablet is a medicine used to treat an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Thyronorm 150mcg 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, Thyronorm 150 mcg Tablet  helps to replace missing thyroid hormone for proper digestion, muscle functioning, brain development, and maintenance of bones.
 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.
