Thyrosim 5mg Tablet

Question 1

My sister is taking Thyrosim for overactive thyroid gland. She frequently gets sore throat and stops and restarts the treatment again and again. Is there any risk if she continues to take Thyrosim when she has sore throat?

Answer

Very rarely, Thyrosim interferes with the bone marrow and causes a drastic drop in white blood cells. These white blood cells are a part of the bodys defense against bacterial infections, such as sore throats. So, a sore throat can sometimes be the first clue that Thyrosim is affecting the bone marrow. Your sister should contact her doctor and get a blood test. If blood test shows her white blood cell count to be normal, then she can continue Thyrosim. If not, she should stop the treatment after consulting the doctor.
