Thyradin-S tablets 50 mcg for thyroid hormone therapy (levothyroxine, hypothyroidism, myxedema, cretinism, goiter)

What are Thyradin S tablets 50 mcg for thyroid hormone therapy (levothyroxine, hypothyroidism, cretinism, goiter)?

Thyradin S tablets are formulated with levothyroxine salt hydrate, which constitutes a sodium-based variant of levothyroxine. This synthetic levoisomer closely resembles the naturally produced hormone from the thyroid gland. Having undergone extensive research, this medication has been in use since the mid-nineteenth century due to its exceptional safety and efficacy. Even today, levothyroxine remains the predominant choice for thyroid hormone therapy, catering to both long-term treatment requirements and severe instances.

Thyradin S tablets serve as an option for addressing insufficiencies in thyroid hormones, encompassing conditions like hypothyroidism, hypophyseal disorders, myxedema, and cretinism. It's imperative for your physician to determine the precise dosage and treatment duration, which might span a lifetime commitment.
