Hi..

Thanks for your health query to HCM..

You are diagnosed to have hypothyroid or hyperthyroidism.

Thyronorm is a tablet given for hypothyroid state.

Do not worry.

Make sure of diagnosis and then take treatment.

Hypothyroidism is a clinical state characterised by weight gain,feeling fatigue,puffiness face,loss of hair , hypertension and biochemically evidenced by Increased TSH and low T3 and lowT4.

If you mistakenly written as hyper for hypo,may be the down thyroid is not corrected because you are not taking the medicine in proper dosage and regularly.Thyronorm tab has to be taken in empty stomach,half an hour after which you have to take food as food decreases the absorption of medicine

Hope this helps.

Take care.
