During the treatment, the dosage should be adjusted according to the clinical symptoms and the levels of triiodothyroxine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyrotropin.

Side effects: At an appropriate dose, there are no side effects.

For the elderly: The elderly are particularly sensitive to thyroid hormone problems, and the demand for thyroid hormone of people over 60 years old is 25% higher than that of young people. In addition, the cardiovascular function of the elderly is much weaker. Such people should be careful with their medication.

Drug compatibility:

1. When taking thyroid hormone, diabetes patients should monitor their blood sugar level, take insulin or increase the dose of hypoglycemic drugs.

2. When thyroid hormone and double Kumarin anticoagulant are used together, the anticoagulant function may be enhanced, which may lead to bleeding. The dosage of anticoagulant should be adjusted according to the protein time.

3. The combination of thyroid hormone and tricyclic antidepressants may cause synergistic toxic and side effects - in this case, the dose should be closely monitored.

4. People taking estrogen and contraceptives may increase the level of thyroxine binding globulin in the blood, so it is necessary to monitor the dose of thyroid hormone.

5. Cholesterol and cholesterol weaken the function of thyroid hormone. When these drugs are taken with thyroid hormone, it is recommended to take them every 4-5 hours and regularly test thyroid function.

Beta adrenergic blockers reduce the conversion of T4 to T3 surrounding tissue - this should be noted when used in combination.

Pharmacological properties:

Thyroid hormone stimulates the growth and development of the body, and the growth and differentiation of tissues. Increase the demand of tissues for oxygen. Increase blood pressure, heart rate and heart rate throughout the body. Improve the level of consciousness, mental energy and activities, accelerate the flow of thinking and association, and increase sports activities. Improve body temperature and basic metabolic level.

Thyroid hormone increases the glucose level in the blood, enhances the occurrence of glucose in the liver, and inhibits the synthesis of glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscle. They also increase the capture and utilization of glucose
