I'm dealing with hypothyroidism and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to get vitcofol injections for my B12. Is taking vitcofol safe for someone with a thyroid condition?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Vitcofol injection is safe to take for B12 supplementation in patients with hypothyroidism. It is important to maintain adequate B12 levels, especially in patients with thyroid disorders. The usual dosage for Vitcofol injection is 1 ml intramuscularly once a day for 5-10 days, followed by a maintenance dose as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

View allI'm a 45-year-old guy with a pretty sedentary lifestyle since I have a desk job, and I'm dealing with hypothyroidism. My TSH is at 14, T3 is 0.8, and T4 is 5.9. I've been taking Thyronorm 25mg but not very consistently. I dont have a lot of physical symptoms, but I do feel lethargic and just can't seem to get motivated to exercise. Should I think about switching brands or adjusting the dosage? Also, is there a particular time of day that's better for taking this medication? And how often should I be getting my TSH levels checked?
go for thyroid test

My mom is 57 and has high calcium at 11.1 with PTH levels at 153. The doctor said it's her parathyroid glands and recommended surgery. Is surgery urgent or can we wait and monitor for a while? Are there any medications that could help bring her levels back to normal instead? She's been on BP meds for 3 years but her pressure is mostly under control.
It's important to discuss your mother's specific situation with her doctor to determine the best course of action. While surgery is the recommended treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, it's not always an urgent situation, and there are other options to consider

My TSH level is 82.5 and I might need surgery with general anesthesia is that safe or should I be worried about my thyroid levels affecting the procedure?
A TSH level of 82.5 is significantly elevated, indicating hypothyroidism. This can increase the risk of complications during surgery and anesthesia, particularly related to heart failure, hypothermia, and electrolyte imbalances. While surgery is generally safe, it's crucial to discuss your high TSH with your surgeon and anesthesiologist to address potential risks and ensure a safe procedure.
