We'd like to inform thyroid patients in New Zealand that the Eltroxin tablets, prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, are changing again (size). Follow the link for more info.

How soon you'll get the new tablets will depend on the stock of your pharmacy.

Kelp is rich in iodine but due to its high, and often variable iodine content, should not be used as a source of iodine. It can also worsen existing thyroid disorders.

The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system. It may be helpful for people with a thyroid problem to understand which part the thyroid plays in the endocrine system. https://t.co/Xnf2HwP0bv

One of the themes highlighted by #ITAW this year is "Thyroid and Genetics".

Does thyroid disease, autoimmune disease or cancer run in your family? Make sure your doctor knows, so they can do the right tests!

Thyroid disease is very common, but also often goes undiagnosed. Symptoms can be very unspecific, but there are certain signs that make it important to see a doctor.

A good start is doing the neck-check!🪞https://t.co/EF5tThKAHY

[Thyroid NZ @ThyroidNZ]

@NZAllison Great idea! That would fit in a wider subject like "Complications of untreated/undertreated thyroid disease". Thanks for your feedback!
