The drug of choice in myxodema (hypothyroidism):
- a- Thyroxin sodium.***
- b- Carbimazole.
- c- Tadenn.
- d- Propyl uracil.
The drug of choice in myxedema (severe hypothyroidism) is a) Thyroxin sodium.
Myxedema is a severe form of hypothyroidism that occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. This can lead to a number of symptoms, including fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, constipation, and hair loss.
Thyroxin sodium is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone levothyroxine. It is used to replace the thyroid hormone that is missing in people with hypothyroidism. It is the most common treatment for hypothyroidism, and it is generally very effective.
The other options are incorrect:
- b) Carbimazole is an antithyroid medication that is used to treat hyperthyroidism. It is not used to treat hypothyroidism.
- c) Tadenn is a generic name for levothyroxine, the same medication as thyroxin sodium.
- d) Propyl uracil is a medication that is used to treat certain types of goiter. It is not used to treat hypothyroidism.
So the answer is a) Thyroxin sodium.
