A bottle of WP Thyroid

History

WP Thyroid has had a long history of being used in the medical field. The medication was originally created as the only hypoallergenic substance, which has been around for almost a century.

The drug was designed with its customers in mind to promote safety and consistency in every dosage.

That is how it aims to differ from all the other thyroid drugs.

Medical Use

When an underactive thyroid takes place in the human body, WP Thyroid can be used to treat the issue of hypothyroidism.

The product is a thyroid hormone which is made from an animal’s thyroid gland, specifically from a pig. Its function is to aid in extra thyroid hormone help, which is usually created by the thyroid gland on its own.

Also, WP Thyroid can replace the thyroid hormone with better hormone levels than the human body can normally product. Lower hormone levels can happen in the body due to injury, radiation, medication use, or surgery that removes the thyroid gland all together from the body.

Without the thyroid hormone functioning properly, the body will struggle to stay physically and mentally strong in the long run. It is even more imperative that children receive enough of the thyroid hormone in the body or their growth will be stunted physically and mentally.

That is why medication can be used to treat a variety of dysfunctions in the body like thyroid disorders, goiters, thyroid cancer, and can help see if the thyroid is functioning properly or not. Medical use of this drug should only be used to treat infertility if there are low thyroid levels in the human body.

Adults should consider discussing the use of this medication with their doctor to understand the benefits and the risks.

Before getting started with WP Thyroid, discuss with your doctor your history with allergic reactions, like with pork type foods.

Even if WP Thyroid has ingredients that are inactive, they can still cause a negative reaction in the human body. Other history information that your doctor will need includes if you have a background with heart disease, high blood pressure, and even adrenal gland issues.

This is to limit negative interactions with each patient.

Also, if you are having surgery, a surgeon or a dentist will need to know everything you are taking medically.

Products that the medical staff will want to know include herbal products, oils, and prescription and nonprescription medications. This is to make sure you will be alright, if you are put to sleep during the surgery.

WP Thyroid should never be shared as a medical use with others . The only time WP Thyroid is shared is during tests.

These medical tests are monitored by trained professionals to check side effects with specific patients.

Whenever you have WP Thyroid in your possession, you will need to store it appropriately. Keep away from rooms that can get too warm during the day. Room temperature is best without moisture and light to deal with. Bathrooms are not a great place to store any medication, and keep the medications away from all animals and children.

If your WP Thyroid medication is no longer needed, it should be discarded properly. Flushing medication down the toilet is not a good alternative. Check for a medication disposal site near you or, once again, talk to your doctor.

Dosage

WP Thyroid medication is usually taken orally, and should be consumed on an empty stomach before eating breakfast first thing in the morning. The dosage depends on a few factors: age, weight, how a patient responds to the treatment, test results, and the medical condition of the each specific patient.

Each dosage should be used consistently to reap the benefits of this drug on the body. Take the dosage at the same time day after day, and never stop the medications unless you have discussed this with a trained professional. If a dosage is ever missed, take the medication as soon as you realize your mistake.

But, if the dosage is near the time that you should be taking your next dosage, skip the last dosage and continue on your normalized schedule. Double doses are not an effective or efficient want to get back on-track, unless your physician says to accomplish this.

To prepare yourself, talk to your doctor before a dose is missed, so you know what to do if this problem ever happens to you.

If you are looking for a different thyroid medication to use, talk to your doctor first.

Also, be aware of how your body might react during the transition from one thyroid medication to another.  The change in medications might affect low hormone readings in the body, which could include symptoms like muscle aches, constipation, and weight gain among other things.

Another reason to talk to your doctor is if symptoms worsen overtime. Lastly, understand that if you start this dosage, you will probably be taking this prescription for the rest of your life. This is not a quick fix medication. This is a lifestyle change for the future.

How It Works

WP Thyroid works with the human body because it is an all-natural and pure substance that helps the thyroid when it is not working correctly to replace T3 and T4 hormones.

With only 2 ingredients, Inulin and Medium Chain Triglycerides, patients know what they are taking, which is hard to say with a lot of medications these days which have dozens and dozens of ingredients. The drug is gluten-free and does not contain ingredients that may cause allergies like shellfish, corn, peanuts, rice, and soy.

Interactions

Users must be very careful when mixing WP Thyroid with other medications. This can cause serious side effects that could ultimately lead to death. Specifically, medications such as antacids, iron, and colestipol can lessen the amount the thyroid hormone can absorb in the body.

Blood thinners and birth control meds can also be a detriment when taking WP Thyroid.

Make sure to take other medications separate from WP Thyroid. A good rule of thumb is 4 hours apart. To make sure that you are safe when taking multiple medications, consult with your doctor all that you are taking to narrow down possible dangers of mixing meds.

Also, do not stop, start, or switch medications without the prior consent of your doctor.

If overdose ever occurs with WP Thyroid or other medications, this can be a serious situation. Symptoms like breathing trouble and passing completely out are definite reasons to call 911 to bring in paramedics.

If the symptoms are not as dire, call poison control locally in the United States of the America at 1-800-222-1222.

Canadian residents should contact their local center for poison control. Symptoms to call poison control include seizures, confusion, and/or an overbearing heart-rate.

Side Effects

There are a multitude of side effects that could occur when taking WP Thyroid. Hair loss may be the first noticeable side effect after the medication is used after two to three months. This is a temporary effect, but it can be an embarrassing one.

If hair loss continues, the dosage of WP Thyroid may need to be tweaked. But, remember that if side effects occur, your doctor may see the benefits of using WP Thyroid over some minimal side effects, and you may continue to take the medication regardless of how your look or feel.

Some serious side effects that you should tell your doctor include sweating, mental changes, being overtired, headaches, etc. Medical attention will need to be called if parts of your body start to swell and you have reoccurring chest pains. Allergic reactions are also very, very serious.

Even though these reactions are very rare when taking WP Thyroid, issues like itching, rashes and dizziness need to be attended to immediately.

If you are pregnant or may become pregnant, it is important to be aware of side effects because it may change your dosage over time. Also, with breast feeding, the thyroid hormone is released, but it has been proven that it will not effect the baby negatively. Nonetheless, you should discuss this with your doctor either way.

As stated earlier, poison control and your doctor should be called when side effects occur.

But, after side effects have been attended to and you start feeling better, you should call the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at 1-800-FDA-1088 or communicate through their website at www.fda.gov/. Specifically in Canada, call the Health Canada number, which is 1-866-234-2345.

These organization use the information to help keep people safe in their respective countries.

Controversies

Controversies can be the scary part of using medications like WP Thyroid. Research and conversations with a trained professional are imperative when using any medication.

Some of the controversies that surround WP Thyroid include the treatment of obesity and breast cancer dangers.

WP Thyroid has been proven to help people lose weight when taking this drug, so it has been used to treat people who are obese. The controversy arises with the fact that the dosage for WP Thyroid needs to raised for people to actually lose mass amounts of weight.

But, raising the dosage to the amount needed may end up harming the patient more than it can help them..

So, it is best if doctors do not use this product to help patients lose weight because the cons outweigh the pros in this case.

The other controversy with WP Thyroid involves breast cancer. Some studies have shown that thyroid medication can actually cause breast cancer, and WP Thyroid is no different in this regard. Apparently, the mammary gland can be affected causing an overgrowth of tissue leading to cancerous tumors.

More research is needed to prove this for sure, but a lot of patients and doctors should be weary about these negative side effects.

Advice to any women patients who are taking WP Thyroid should be constant conversation with their respective doctors, and making sure they keep up with their screenings for breast cancer.
