FAQs
1. Why do I get asked to get my Thyroxine on an empty stomach before breakfast exactly 30–60 minutes?
Thyroxine is easily influenced by what we eat. Food, particularly carbohydrates, proteins, fibers & caffeine delays or decreases its absorption. Do tell them to take it with a glass full of water first thing in the morning and wait a good hour for a good cup of tea or coffee before they can break their fast; this ensures it easily absorbs to their bloodstream without interference.
2. Can I take the Thyroxine at the same time with my calcium or iron supplements?
No. Thyroxine ion complex-formation will form with calcium and iron salts. This complex-formation will prevent thyroxine from being absorbed. You will need to wait at least 4 hours after taking calcium or iron before you can take thyroxine.
3. How long does it take before you begin to have any good response to the drug?
If the first few days show an improvement or even slight improvement in your previously-presented symptoms, it generally takes sub-acute to chronic periods of 6 to 8 weeks for the ordered dosage of thyroxine to render blood level concentrations into a steady state. Most likely your doctor would take another TSH after picking up a sample in two months to decide whether a slight adjustment in the dose might be appropriate.
4. Should I continue to take this medicine for the rest of my life?
In most patients having primary hypothyroidism, Thyroxine therapy shall be taken for life. It is like a daily vitamin for one’s metabolism; the body was producing this as a drug naturally, and now it is administered as a tablet. Under any circumstance, you should not stop taking this medication without a doctor’s consent, even if you feel fine.
5. A chance for Weight loss with Thyroxine?
Definitely not. Which should not be an option according to the norms based on the treatment of patients. Treating an obese with thyroid hormones and taking it into the person with normal thyroid function places everybody in a very hazardous situation and, at the end, bears no outcomes as far as successful weight loss. In fact, an overdose could threaten huge risks for this person’s heart—arrhythmias or high blood pressure.
