Levotiroksin, 🌎🌍🌏dünyada en çok yazılan ilaçlardan biri. Ve çoğu zaman sorgulanmadan, ömür boyu kullanılıyor. 🇳🇱JAMA'da yayımlanan bu Hollanda çalışması farklı bir yol denedi! 💊Subklinik hipotiroidi, yani hafif tiroid yavaşlığı, özellikle yaşlılarda çoğu zaman geçici. Ama tedavi hep kalıcı oluyor. 💊İlaçları başlatmak kadar, "hala gerekli mi?" diye sormak da tıbbın görevi. ⚠️Bu çalışma tam da bu soruyu sormamız için bir kapı aralıyor. @JAMA_current @AmThyroidAssn @thyroidfriends @thyroiduk_org @kubilaykarsidag

@MichaelRosenYes Oh crikey! I never knew that. I need to check my passport as we are going away twice this year! Hope you managed to rearrange!

Ha! I’ve just been refused entry onto a plane from Stansted to Bologna because my passport issue date is March 2016. The expiry date is August 2026 but the rule is 10 years from issue date. Another Brexit benefit. Apparently. Go home now.

@MaryS58459511 @JimBethell T3 is much cheaper now so it shouldn't be classed as an expensive medicine and taken off the "Items which should not routinely be prescribed in primary care" guidance.

@JimBethell Yet 55% of ICBs seem unconcerned that their policies are not aligned with NHSE policy on access to liothyronine for those patients who need it. Patients deficient in hormone T3 need Liothyronine - a synthetic version which helps to control metabolism + reduce the risk of obesity
