Dextrothyroxine

Dextrothyroxine is specifically used to treat problems related to heart blockages caused by the deposition of fat and high levels of cholesterol. The drug helps to treat the bad cholesterol and triglycerides, lowering its levels and increasing the good cholesterol in the blood.

The dosage depends upon the age, weight, medical history of the patient, health conditions and the response to the therapy.

Most of the drugs are contraindicated in patients who have suffered or are suffering from cardiac disorders, lungs or liver disorders or renal malfunctioning. In such cases, immense precaution is required in the determination of the dosage. Take proper medical help in case you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy any time soon or breastfeeding.
