Understand the thyroid gland:
Thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in human body, which is brownish red and divided into two pieces, which are connected in the middle (called isthmus) and are H-shaped, about 20 30 grams.
The thyroid gland is located in front of the upper trachea in the lower part of the larynx and can move up and down with the larynx when swallowing. The basic unit of thyroid gland is acinus, which has a strong aggregation effect on iodine. Although the iodine content in the gland is usually 25.50 times that in the blood, 65,438+0/3 of the daily iodine intake still enters the thyroid gland, and 90% of the iodine content in the whole body is concentrated in the thyroid gland.
Thyroid gland is the endocrine organ of human body. Its main functions include synthesizing thyroid hormone, acting on the body's metabolism and maintaining growth and development. It is very important for the growth and development of human bones and brains.
Especially in infancy, if there is a lack of thyroid hormone, there may be mild illness, and patients may have abnormal brain development and mental retardation, thus affecting the height of children.
Thyroid hormone can also improve the excitability of the central nervous system. In hyperthyroidism, there may be excitement, excitement and rapid heartbeat.
Youjialuo, also known as levothyroxine sodium tablet, is an alternative therapy for hypothyroidism because of its slow onset time, easy tolerance by patients and easy dose control.
Its advantages are economy and convenience for oral administration, but its disadvantages are that it needs to be taken for a long time or even for life. Some people have certain side effects, can't completely treat hypothyroidism, and are prone to relapse after stopping taking medicine.
Although the effect of Eupatorium adenophorum is good, there are some precautions, and four points should be kept in mind when taking it.
-What is Uniqlo?
Eugenol, known as levothyroxine sodium tablets, is the most commonly used drug to treat hypothyroidism.
Youjialuo has many functions and functions:
1, metoprolol can treat non-toxic thyroid diseases, which can effectively reduce sympathetic nerve excitation and basal metabolism decline caused by thyroid diseases and produce adverse symptoms.
2. If thyroidectomy is performed, taking Perrin after operation can effectively prevent the recurrence of goiter.
3. You Le Jia can also do thyroid inhibitor test, which belongs to drugs for treating thyroid diseases. It can not only inhibit the occurrence of goiter, but also prevent postoperative recurrence after thyroid surgery, and also have a certain therapeutic effect on the symptoms of hypothyroidism.
In short, Eupatorium adenophorum has many functions and functions, but there are also many precautions when taking Eupatorium adenophorum, otherwise it is easy to induce adverse side effects, so we should pay attention.
-Remember four things when taking Eupatorium adenophorum.
First, the taking time generally requires taking the total dose of Eupatorium odoratum on an empty stomach in the morning. If taking 100μg or 200μg, it must be taken on an empty stomach in the morning.
On the one hand, because Eupatorium adenophorum has the function of an exciting center, it will cause insomnia if taken at night. On the other hand, the absorption of Eupatorium odoratum is affected by many substances, such as cellulose and plant protein in food, which will affect the absorption of Eupatorium odoratum, so take it on an empty stomach in the morning.
Second, it takes about four weeks after oral administration of Eupatorium adenophorum to reach a relatively stable level. It is suggested that patients should review the level of thyroid function after taking Perrin to determine whether it is necessary to adjust the dose of Perrin, and it must be monitored.
Because some patients will have insufficient substitution of perrin, some patients will have the possibility of overeating and eating hyperthyroidism.
Third, because there may be interactions with multiple drugs, you must inform your doctor if you use other drugs at the same time. In addition, the serum thyroxine level should be checked regularly during medication.
Fourth, the influence of food on Eupatorium odoratum:
Grapefruit juice delays the absorption of Eupatorium odoratum (grape, grapefruit, grape juice, grapefruit juice, raisins, etc.). );
Soybean reduces the efficacy of Eupatorium odoratum (soybean milk, tofu, tofu, soybean oil, bean skin, etc.). );
Walnut and Eupatorium odoratum combine in gastrointestinal tract, thus reducing the absorption of Eupatorium odoratum;
Dietary fiber combines with Eupatorium odoratum in gastrointestinal tract, thus reducing the absorption of Eupatorium odoratum (coarse grains, celery, pumpkin, Chinese cabbage, etc. , the specific number is large, you can check it yourself).
What side effects can you have by taking Youjialuo for a long time?
If the dose is not well controlled, overdose will cause two side effects:
1. Eupatorium adenophorum is levothyroxine sodium, which has adverse effects on the heart and may also cause bone damage.
L- thyroxine sodium can make the heart beat faster and strengthen the contractility of the heart. If the blood supply to the heart itself is insufficient, it will aggravate the condition of patients with ischemic heart disease, angina pectoris and even myocardial infarction because of the increased burden on the heart after using Youjialuo.
Second, if excessive use of Eupatorium odoratum, it may also lead to bone loss, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and easy fracture.
