Manufacturer: Hilma Biocare

Pack: 50 tabs/bottle (100mcg/tab )

Info: T4, recognized as Levothyroxine Sodium, is an artificial type of the thyroid hormone thyroxine. It is often recommended by doctors for the treatment of hypothyroidism and some other diseases in the thyroid prospective. The way T4 operates is by replacing or assisting the natural thyroid hormone thyroxine; this later changes into active hormone T3 (triiodothyronine) in the body. T3 in return, regulates several metabolic procedures like protein synthesis, carbohydrate and lipid metabolic processes leading to enhanced cellular metabolism and energy expenditure.

Effects

Hypothyroidism Treatment: T4 is primarily used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce sufficient thyroid hormones, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and depression. Thyroid Hormone Replacement: It is used as a replacement therapy in patients with an underactive thyroid gland or after thyroid surgery. Regulation of Metabolism: T4 helps regulate metabolism, energy production, and growth by increasing the metabolic rate of cells. Improved Mood and Energy: Treatment with T4 can help alleviate symptoms of hypothyroidism such as low energy levels, poor mood, and cognitive difficulties.

Side Effects

Hyperthyroidism signs such as rapid heartbeat and insomnia may arise from T4 being used too much or too much. For example, patients who already have cardiac illness will develop heart palpitations especially when they take a high dosage of T4. This may also worsen pre-existing complications associated with the heart. An increase in dose over a period of time can cause reduced bone strength leading to possible osteoporosis development because it reduces BMD measurements at various sites over time. Like other hormones secreted by human bodies, T4 regulates metabolism; so some patients may lose weight without even trying when their bodies turn this hormone into energy instead of storing it. Others could notice unintended weigh
