Faq for medicine:
A: Thyroid hormone is naturally present in the body and is therefore safe to take in pregnancy. In fact, it is very important that pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant have normal thyroid hormone levels to provide a suitable environment for the baby. If you are already taking thyroid hormone, your dose may need to be increased during pregnancy. Hence, you may have to get your thyroid hormone and TSH levels measured once you know that you are pregnant. You should discuss the timing of thyroid blood tests with your doctor, but often thyroid tests are done every trimester.
Q: Does Thyrorich interact with any other medications?
A: Use of medications such as birth control pills, estrogen, testosterone, some medications for seizures, depression, and cholesterol, and supplements such as iron and calcium may require you to alter the dose of Thyrorich. It is therefore important that you let your doctor know about all the medications or supplements you are taking.
Q: What is the dose for Thyrorich?
A: The dose is individualised on the basis of clinical response and biochemical tests. Regular monitoring of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and Thyrorich is recommended when starting therapy or changing the dose. Do not change the dose or stop the medicine without consulting your doctor.
Q: Can I take Thyrorich with tea/coffee/food?
A: It is best to take Thyrorich on an empty stomach (ideally, first thing in the morning). No tea/coffee, food or milk should be taken 1 hour before and 2 hours after taking this medicine as it affects its absorption.
Q: What happens if we consume too much iodine?
A: In some people, increased dietary iodine intake causes the thyroid gland to make excess of thyroid hormone, leading to a condition called iodine-induced hyperthyroidism. Too much of iodine can also cause thyroid underactivity, called hypothyroidism as excess iodine blocks the thyroid's ability to produce the hormone.
Q: Is Thyrorich a beta blocker?

Q: Is Thyrorich a neurotransmitter?
A: No, Thyrorich is not a neurotransmitter. Thyrorich is a hormone secreted directly into the blood by the thyroid gland. The blood then takes it to the target organs in the body. A neurotransmitter, on the other hand, transmits impulses from one nerve cell to the other in the brain.
Q: Is Thyrorich a tropic hormone?

Q: Is Thyrorich a protein?
A: No. Thyrorich is not a protein. The normal thyroid gland secretes two thyroid hormones - triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4 or Thyrorich). More than 99% of these hormone circulating in the blood as bound to carrier proteins, Thyrorich-binding globulin, synthesised in the liver.
Q: Is Thyrorich a peptide or steroid?
A: Thyrorich is neither a peptide nor a steroid. Thyrorich is an amino acid (tyrosine) derived hormone. (Amino acids are tiny building blocks of proteins, but they cannot be called proteins by themselves unless a number of them are connected in a sequence).
Q: Can Thyrorich be used as hormone replacement therapy?
A: Yes. Thyrorich can be used as a hormone replacement therapy to compensate the deficiency of thyroid hormone in the body.
Q: Is Thyrorich a hormone?
A: Yes. Thyrorich is a hormone secreted from the thyroid gland. It causes increased oxygen consumption by most tissues of the body, increases the basal metabolic rate and the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.
Q: Is Thyrorich a slowly acting drug?
A: Yes. Thyrorich is a slow-acting drug. It acts through receptors situated in the nucleus of a cell and results in the formation of various protein to target its action hence Thyrorich takes some time to act.
