Based on my 29-year-old son's symptoms of hair loss, headaches, body aches, and being overweight, and his blood tests showing an underactive thyroid, high uric acid, low vitamin B12, and slightly elevated liver enzymes, should he start taking Thyronorm 25mg once daily and Febutaz 40mg once daily, and if so, for how long should he take them?
It is completely understandable to want the best care for your son. Levothyroxine (Thyronorm) 25mg is commonly prescribed for an underactive thyroid and is usually a long-term therapy, with thyroid levels monitored every few weeks. Febuxostat (Febutaz) 40mg helps manage high uric acid, but since his liver enzymes are slightly elevated, his doctor should confirm if it is the safest option, as it can impact liver function. Addressing his low vitamin B12 will also greatly help his fatigue and body aches. Please consult his physician to safely start these medications and tailor his treatment plan.
