What happens if I miss my thyroid medication one day?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Levothyroxine has longer half-life, so a person would not have much effects if you miss one dose. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

View allI've been given injections of Nandrolone Decanoate 250mg on Monday and Testosterone Cypionate 250mg on Tuesday. I'm really concerned about getting these fluids out of my system. How can I deal with this issue?
To reduce fluid retention after receiving Nandrolone Decanoate and Testosterone Cypionate injections, consider increasing urine production and reducing water retention through methods such as drinking plenty of water, increasing potassium-rich food intake, elevating legs, avoiding excessive sodium, and incorporating diuretic-friendly foods like asparagus, celery, and cucumbers

I'm trying to understand the difference between TSH and TSH ultrasensitive tests. How do they differ, and is one considered better than the other? It's a bit confusing to me.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) and TSH Ultra-Sensitive are both blood tests that measure thyroid function, but the key difference lies in their sensitivity: TSH measures TSH levels above 0.5-1.0 mUL, while TSH Ultra-Sensitive measures levels as low as 0.01-0.05 mUL, making it more sensitive in detecting subtle thyroid function abnormalities, especially in cases of hyperthyroidism or thyroiditis, so the Ultra-Sensitive test is generally considered better for diagnosing and monitoring thyroid conditions.

I'm in my 30s and my blood glucose levels are a bit higher than normal. I've heard about BGR 34 from a few friends who said it's government approved in India and completely ayurvedic. I'm really curious if it's true and if it's a good option for managing my diabetes. Can you give me some advice on this?
consult physician and then only you take medication
