thyroid in india

I too live in India and need Armour thyroid or equivalent natural dessicated thyroid. Please send me the information on how to buy it here in Delhi.

I live in India and have autoimmune hypothyroidism. I have been on Eltroxin and subsequently Thyronorm for the last 17 years. After finding out about dessicated thyroid and its benefits versus the synthetic thyroxine only treatment I have tried different endocrinologists to help me cope better as most of my symptoms over the years were treated or explained away as separate complaints completely unrelated to my longstanding hypothyroidism.

I was diagnosed with medullary cancer of thyroid in 2009. I had surgery for total thyroidectomy, bilateral and mediastinal node dissections requiring sternotomy. After a few months, I saw some progression of the disease and visited MD Anderson hospital in the US. As advised by them, since then I have been taking cancer inhibitors - sunitinib for 2 months followed by year long trial of vandetanib. These medications showed some regression of and also helped stabilize the nodes.

I am living out of India. Can anyone guide me about natural Dessicated thyroid medication in India.

Unfortunately I don't know of a source for Armour Thyroid in India. My info is for a pharmacy in Canada from which it can be ordered, if you have a prescription. I think your best alternative would be to get your doctor to give you a script for a large quantity to take with you and take care of you at least for a while.

They put me on 12.5micrograms of thyroid medication, which is the lowest level in India, and only half the lowest level available in the US. When we got back, I did the test again, and my TSH levels are back to normal. My ob here thinks my medication levels are too low to even have ant effect, but he has kept me on it never the less. I am taking it because hypothyroidism can pose a risk to the fetal brain development.

I am in urgent need of Armour Thyroid....I live in India....my hair is falling out in clumps and i will soon be bald! I bought some while i was in the US two years ago and what is left of it has gone beyond the expiration date!! Please help!

I see that you live in India. I'm not sure if your lab numbers are the same there as they are here in the U.S. But if they are, then your number is very high which indicates hypothyroidism. We have a Thyroid forum here at Medhelp. It would be a good idea if you posted your question there so they can better help you.

Most of us know that, in a perfect world, TSH is a pituitary hormone and its purpose is to stimulate the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones. In that perfect world, the thyroid responds by producing the necessary hormones, which then decreases the TSH. When the thyroid malfunctions, for any number of reasons, it no longer pays attention to the pituitary gland, which continues to crank out TSH, as thyroid hormone levels go lower and lower and we become more and more hypo.

she had been taking anti malarial tabs before and while she was in India. do you think that this is a tropical infection ? she has lost half a stone as well.she had breast cancer about 10 years ago and also has thyroid otherwise she is pretty heathy.She went to gujarat in india.

I request you to please help my mother. We have been to many renowned doctors in India. We have tried allopathy, ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy, yoga but no results. I have her recent MRI report also if required. Please help my mom... I would be very grateful to you for my whole life.

is cryoablation available in india?......

(not that he could help it if things were bad) but the first thing he did when the quake hit was get a count there and check on everyone in India and get word to the spouses in the states. I am so mentally slow today I cant seem to put two and two together.

also it can affect due to other problems anyway ignoring tsh is best especially in such condition. if went to a doctor in india he will again up the dose as he see tsh still not in range but that's stupidity (me have experienced this with many doctors that's why said). so if he not willing to reduce eltroxin to eltroxin 25 then change doctor. reducing t4 is the correct way. find a doctor who is good in treating thyroid problems.

e is approved by FDA and you told it was in effect in 2004 is that applicable to India also or it will differ.

I do not know what your location is, but if you are in the US, post your location and maybe experienced members can refer you to a good thyroid MD.

s same in India too.
