Jeproxin-25
Description_Effects
Jeproxin-25 contains Thyroxine Sodium 25 mcg, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine). It is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, leading to a slower metabolism and various physical and mental symptoms. Hypothyroidism can cause fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, depression, constipation, cold intolerance, and slowed heart rate. Jeproxin-25 helps by supplementing the missing hormone, restoring normal levels in the body, and improving these symptoms over time. The medication supports essential body functions like energy production, brain activity, growth, and metabolism. It is typically taken once daily in the morning on an empty stomach, about 30 to 60 minutes before eating. Regular monitoring through blood tests (especially TSH levels) is important to ensure the dosage is appropriate. Jeproxin-25 is often used as a starting or maintenance dose, especially in elderly patients or those with heart conditions. It is important not to skip doses or stop the medication without medical advice, as untreated hypothyroidism can lead to complications. With consistent use and proper dose adjustment, Jeproxin-25 helps restore hormonal balance and improves quality of life in individuals with an underactive thyroid.
