January: Thyroid Awareness Month
Expert Resources for a Healthy Thyroid.

Stay informed about your thyroid health – learn about the important role your thyroid plays in your body’s total health and how to make sure your thyroid is functioning properly.

What is your Thyroid?
Your thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck, just below the Adam’s apple area. Although small, your thyroid gland plays a major role in your body, influencing many of your body’s organs, including your brain, heart, kidneys, liver, and skin. Therefore, having great thyroid health is imperative in making sure the rest of your body is function at 100%.

How Does my Thyroid Work?
Envision your thyroid as a car engine that sets the pace at which your body operates. As an engine produces the required amount of energy for a car to move at a certain speed, your thyroid gland produces enough thyroid hormone to prompt your cells to perform a function at a certain rate. If you have a medical condition affecting your thyroid, the hormone output may be off-balanced, affecting other important functions and organs of your body.

Ensuring your thyroid gland is healthy and functioning correctly is vital to the body’s overall health. As there are a variety of causes for thyroid conditions, we recommend you consult a certified physician if you’re suspecting that you may be experiencing a thyroid condition. See below for question recommendations for your physician and pharmacist.

Eight Questions to Ask About Your Thyroid Health:
For Your Physician…
  1. What is the difference between hyperthyroid and hypothyroid patients as well as the symptoms of each?
  2. What is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)?
  3. What else, besides TSH levels, are important for ensuring my thyroid condition is under control?
  4. Why are more people than ever being diagnosed with thyroid cancer and should I be checked for it?

For Your Pharmacist…
  1. What is the difference between a generic thyroid hormone pill and a brand name thyroid hormone pill?
  2. What time of day is best to take my thyroid hormone pill?
  3. May I take my thyroid medication with food, other medications, vitamins or supplements?
  4. Can any of my other medications affect my thyroid?
