About Thyrox 200 mcg Tablet 100's
Thyrox
200 mcg Tablet 100's is a synthetic thyroid hormone that works by replacing the
thyroid hormone in the body when the natural production of thyroid hormones is
not sufficient to meet the needs of the body. Thyrox 200 mcg Tablet 100's is
primarily taken for treatment of hypothyroidism or low secretion of thyroid
hormone. It comprises thyroxine which is a synthetic thyroid hormone that is
chemically similar to thyroxine produced by our thyroid gland. Thyroxine helps
to replace missing thyroid hormone and/or to relieve stress on the thyroid
gland.
Hypothyroidism is a chronic condition in which our thyroid
gland (located below the throat in the neck) is not able to produce enough
thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones are composed of tri-iodothyronine (T3) and
thyroxine (T4) which controls the body's metabolism. In the condition of
underactive thyroid body’s metabolism slows down and the person feels less
energetic. Other symptoms include easy fatiguability, constipation, weight
gain, feeling cold even in warm weathers, dry skin or too much or too fewer
menses (in women) or even low mood. Treatment of hypothyroid is essential to
restore the normal body metabolism (basal metabolic rate).
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, your
doctor will advise you to undertake a blood test called Thyrox
function test' which checks three hormones related to thyroid - TSH, T3, T4.
High TSH and low T3/T4 indicates that your thyroid gland is not functioning
normally. The dose of Thyrox 200 mcg Tablet 100's is adjusted by your doctor on
the basis of your body weight and thyroid function test report. It may take
some weeks for the medicine to fully show its effects. Regular monitoring of
thyroid function is advised to ensure that you receive the optimum dose of
Thyrox 200 mcg Tablet 100's.
