Thyroid Information

Thyroid (Thyroid) is a thyroid hormone replacement agent primarily used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones, leading to a significant reduction in the body's metabolism and resulting symptoms such as weakness, uncontrollable weight gain, cold intolerance, etc. It is a natural dessicated oral medication prepared from dried, powdered porcine (pig) thyroid glands. It is mainly a natural mix of the two primary thyroid hormones, levothyroxine (T4) and liothyronine (T3) (in a specific ratio).

The most active form of thyroid hormone is liothyronine (T3), which is mainly produced by deiodination of levothyroxine (T4) in the peripheral circulation. Unlike other medication used in hypothyroidism that mostly contains only synthetic levothyroxine, this natural desiccated thyroid medication provides both levothyroxine and liothyronine. Proponents sometimes suggest this complete treatment profile feels more natural for some patients who may have trouble converting synthetic levothyroxine to liothyronine in the peripheral circulation. This direct replacement of the deficient thyroid hormones restores the body's metabolic rate and helps alleviate the associated symptoms.

It's important to know that while natural desiccated thyroid medication has a long history in treating hypothyroidism, its use remains less common than synthetic levothyroxine, and some medical professionals express concern about the natural product's consistency and the levothyroxine/liothyronine ratio compared to human physiology. Therefore, its use often requires more careful, individualized monitoring. It is also worth noting that this medication is indicated for treating various causes of hypothyroidism except when transient aetiologies like subacute thyroiditis cause it. It is also not suitable for use for treatment of obesity.

Asides from the treatment of hypothyroidism, it can also be used to treat individuals with normal thyroid hormone levels but with a goitre (enlarged thyroid gland). This is to suppress the thyroid-stimulating hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain, which is responsible for this goitre. It may also be used in combination with other therapies for the treatment of thyroid cancers.
