Elevated levels of thyroid hormone can lead to conditions such as hypothyroidism, which is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Some people with thyroid disorders are at an increased risk of developing certain medical conditions such as thyroid nodules and polyps in their thyroid glands. It's important to know what thyroid disorders you have and the right treatment options for you.
You may have a variety of thyroid disorders, including:
Abnormal thyroid function tests
Thyroid nodules
Polyps in your thyroid gland
Mental health issues
Hypothyroidism
Hypogonadism
Aging
Diabetes
Hyperthyroidism
Hypercholesterolemia
Your thyroid gland and thyroid hormone levels may need to be monitored for certain conditions. It's important to know how to manage thyroid disorders and when to seek medical help.
Certain thyroid hormone replacement therapies can help manage symptoms of hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism-related disorders. Your doctor will check your thyroid levels to determine how well you can safely take your thyroid hormone replacement medication. If you have hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism-related disorders, your doctor may recommend thyroid hormone therapy for the treatment of the symptoms.
If you miss a dose of thyroid hormone replacement medication, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose. If you are prescribed a dose different from the one you missed, talk to your doctor about switching to another medication.
Depending on the type of thyroid hormone replacement therapy your doctor prescribes, there may be different types of treatment options. For example, a thyroid hormone replacement therapy called triiodothyronine (T3) may be prescribed for hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism-related disorders.
Other treatments for thyroid disease include:
T4: A synthetic (not biothyroid) form of T3.
T3A: A synthetic T3.
T3B
T3H: A synthetic T3 hormone.
T3I: A synthetic T3I hormone.
T3J: A synthetic T3J hormone.
Take your thyroid hormone replacement medication with a full glass of water.
Certain types of thyroid hormone replacement therapy can help manage symptoms of hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism-related disorders.
Overdose is a rare occurrence of a thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Taking too much thyroid hormone replacement therapy may lead to symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, weakness, and severe headaches. You should contact your doctor right away if you overdose on thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
