    Issues with hypothyroidism

    A healthy thyroid function is critical to a healthy function of the hormone system in general. In other words, a properly functioning thyroid allows all the hormones of your body to do their respective jobs properly. When a person suffers from an underactive thyroid, it is called hypothyroidism.

    What medication is prescribed for hypothyroidism?

    After conducting blood work and determining you suffer from hypothyroidism, your doctor may prescribe Levothyroxine. This is an effective medication that replaces hormones and prevents the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

    What is hypothyroidism?

    As people age, like other hormones, thyroid hormones tend to decline. Hypothyroidism in ageing adults is a serious problem that often goes undiagnosed. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, consult with your doctor to see if you are suffering from hypothyroidism.

    Hypothyroid symptoms

    A few symptoms of hypothyroidism:

    • Low energy/fatigue

    • Weight gain

    • Water retention

    • Hair loss (a major cause)

    • Dry skin and brittle nails

    • Feeling cold in normal temperatures

    • Anxiety and irritability

    • Depression

    • High cholesterol

    • Mental fogginess

    Hypothyroid replacement

    Replacement is simple and inexpensive but requires a doctor's prescription.

    The thyroid is integral to healthy functioning hormones. If you are showing a number of symptoms of hypothyroidism then be sure to get yourself checked by a doctor. Diagnosing an underactive thyroid is simple and can be determined by a blood test.

    Hormone replacement

    You are facing an important decision. It will affect your health and welfare. Replacing hormones is safe and is a positive life-altering experience if done correctly. It effectively works by giving your body a helping hand at replenishing hormone levels that it is not able to maintain naturally.

    In summary, there are medications that can help if you suffer from hypothyroidism. The main drug in the UK for treating this condition is Levothyroxine. You can buy Levothyroxine from UK Meds.
