Desiccated Thyroid Tablets From Canada

Desiccated Thyroid is a medication used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. This medication helps replace or supplement the natural thyroid hormones in your body, thus helping to regulate your metabolism and energy levels.

Available Strengths

Desiccated Thyroid comes in three strengths: 30 mg, 60 mg, and 125 mg tablets. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dosage for your specific condition.

Desiccated Thyroid contains thyroid hormones which are essential for maintaining a normal metabolic rate in your body. These hormones increase the metabolic rate, helping various tissues and organs function properly.

This medication is used for:

• Replacing or supplementing low or absent thyroid hormones.
• Treating hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).

Do not use Desiccated Thyroid if:

• You have untreated adrenal gland problems.
• You have untreated thyrotoxicosis (overactive thyroid).
• You are allergic to any ingredients in the medication.

• Obesity Treatment: This medication should not be used for weight loss. It is ineffective for weight reduction in people with normal thyroid function and may cause serious side effects if taken in large doses.
• Cardiovascular Issues: If you have heart problems, like angina or hypertension, your doctor will start you on a low dose and monitor you closely.
• Diabetes: If you have diabetes, your medication dose may need adjustment. Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.
