Are Thyroxin and Levothyroxine Tablets Identical Medications?

Difference between thyroxin sodium tablets and levothyroxine sodium tablets. Are both the same medicine?

Answered on 21st Oct '24

Thyroxin sodium and levothyroxine sodium are essentially the same medicine, used to treat hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels). Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold. These tablets help balance hormone levels and relieve symptoms, improving how you feel.

Need advice related to diabetic health issues

Male | 30

People suffering from diabetes have blood sugar levels that are too high. Knowledge about diabetes can cause people to think that this is a disease of the elderly only but the facts show that it is not that way. They can experience symptoms like excessive thirst, reiterating the need for the bathroom, unwilling weight reduction, and constant fatigue. It is caused when your body either is not producing enough insulin or cannot use it. Get used to eating healthy, exercising, taking medicine if needed, and checking blood sugar levels.

I am 18 years girl my thyroid report is 14.1 . Is this normal?

Female | 18

Your thyroid test came back showing a level of 14.1, which means that your thyroid is a little high. There are several possible causes, such as inflammation or certain medications. Some symptoms may be weight changes, fatigue, and mood swings. Treatment usually consists of taking medicine to regulate your thyroid levels. Be sure to see your doctor again soon for more advice.

I am 20 y.o and experiencing hypogonadism symptoms, yet my bloodwork is completely fine. I tested Testosterone total, testosterone free, TSH, LH, FSH, prolactin, estrogen - everything was within ranges. Still though, symptoms are real: erectile dysfunction, low libido, delayed puberty (no genital growth at all, voice is still too high for a man, facial hair is kinda scarce, pubic hair is dark, but chest hair is nonexistent). Ultrasound showed, that my testicles are around 6.5 ml in volume. What could it be, if not hypogonadism? What else would you suggest testing? I'm going to redo my bloodwork in September

Male | 20

With these symptoms, it seems you are battling the hard times. I would like to recommend checking your adrenal glands and thyroid function, which, if imbalances are found, could cause symptoms similar to the one you are having. Besides, a Klinefelter syndrome genetic test may be worth considering. This syndrome is one that men have which comes from the addition of an X chromosome. It is very positive that you are taking the initiative to have your blood work repeated. That's why we can rule out other potential causes of your symptoms.

I have blood pressure. I'm taking nicardia retard. Now I'm undergoing infertility treatment. I'm taking dheapred, delsterone, aspirin 75 mg, estradiol valerate tablets.. Can i take these medicine with bp tablets

Female | 30

Nicardia tablets are used to control blood pressure. Infertility drugs are your other medications. Drugs can inhibit or enhance the action of other medicines and lead to adverse effects. The decision on whether it's safe to combine these medications should be made by your doctor.

My name is Minal Gupta. My fasting sugar level first time 110 and HBA1C level 5.7%. Is it normal?

Female | 31

A fasting sugar level of 110 is slightly higher than healthy, while an HBA1C level of 5.7% is considered within the normal range. High fasting sugar levels can be caused by not eating well. To deal with this, strive for a balanced diet and move your body more by engaging in light exercises or taking walks. Consult a doctor before taking any more steps.

Male | 44

Stem cell therapy is helpful for treatment of type 2 diabetes, but it is not yet FDA approved and is under clinical trials. I advise you to consult a doctor in person. Based on proper evaluation , he will suggest whether stem cell therapy is right for you and discuss the treatment options that you can consider for managing your diabetes. I hope this proved useful. Thanks

I am 37 year old , having frequent episode of low sugar specially in evening.

Male | 37

Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels fall below normal, which can cause symptoms like trembling, sweating, hunger, or dizziness. This often happens due to missing meals or not eating enough. To prevent hypoglycemia, aim to eat regular, balanced meals and snacks throughout the day. If you have concerns, consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and advice.

Hy i am Shama Pawha i have irregular peroid , acne problem, hair fall , and also i have thyroid problem.

Female | 25

Irregular periods, acne, hair fall, and thyroid problems can be related to each other. Thyroid issues can interfere with your hormones, thus causing period and skin problems. Hair loss could also be caused by thyroid deficiency. Checking up with a doctor for your thyroid levels and being treated for it can help normalize the situation. They may prescribe specific medications or suggest other treatments to ameliorate the symptoms.

Am 24 years old female during pregnancy time I got thyroid decreased June 27th I delivered so now I take the blood test for thyroid so the result is 4.823 is this normal for me?

Female | 24

A thyroid level of 4.823 after pregnancy might be slightly aspiring. It might be because you can feel fatigued, become overweight, and experience mood swings. Thyroid levels tend to shift after having a baby. Your body might need a little nudge in the right direction. Your doctor may recommend drugs to normalize your levels and improve your well-being.

thing..my daughter is 13 yrs old n 165 cms tall..she had her first period 2.4 years back.father height 5.8 inch n mother height 5.1 inch..can she get few more inches.or she has got adult height...pls suggest

Female | 13

A 13-year-old may still have some growing to do. The growth spurt during puberty is different for everyone. Most girls stop growing taller between 14 and 16 years old. However, it is true that a few factors that can affect a person's height are genetics and nutrition. Environmental factors (nutrition) and genetic endowments are the ways to ensure her growth. If you want her to grow, make sure she's getting a sufficient diet and moving a lot.

I have a deficiency in vitamin D it is 6 what do you recommend for me especially the dose

Female | 10

Your Vitamin D level of 6 is quite low, and it's important to address this. Usually, doctors recommend a high dose of Vitamin D supplements, often around 50,000 IU once a week for a few months, followed by a maintenance dose. However, it’s best to consult an endocrinologist for the right dosage and treatment plan for your specific needs.

Male | 17

Masturbation is a normal thing that comes with body changes occurring during puberty. The growth spurt, hair growth, and other changes you mentioned are typical signs of puberty. The body is simply going through the process of normal growth and development. Continue to look after yourself by eating right, staying active, and seeking help from a trusted adult if you have any concerns.

Mera tsh level 5.94 hai to Mai 25mcg ki tablet le sakti

Female | 26

A TSH level of 5.94 might indicate a problem with your thyroid gland. If you're feeling tired, gaining weight, or always feeling cold, these could be signs of an underactive thyroid. Taking a 25 mcg tablet daily can help balance your thyroid hormone levels. However, it's important to consult your doctor and have regular check-ups to stay on track.
