I'm really worried because someone I know took about 5 or 6 tablets of thyronorm 25 mcg all at once. Are there any side effects from doing this? What should we do now?
Taking 5 to 6 tablets of Thyronorm 25 mcg at a time can lead to an overdose of levothyroxine, which is the active ingredient in Thyronorm. Symptoms of an overdose may include chest pain, increased heart rate, palpitations, excessive sweating, heat intolerance, nervousness, headache, insomnia, and weight loss. If someone has taken an overdose of Thyronorm, they should seek immediate medical attention. The treatment for an overdose may involve reducing the dose of Thyronorm or temporarily stopping the medication until symptoms improve. It is important to never take more than the prescribed dose of Thyronorm and to always follow your healthcare provider's instructions.

I'm 24 next month and I'm really hoping to add a few inches to my height. I've heard growth hormones might help, but I'm not sure how to naturally increase them. I recently lost 20 kilos and noticed my height went from 163cm to 165cm. Is there a way to keep this going? I'm looking for some advice or suggestions.
While it's challenging to significantly increase height after adolescence, you can try to optimize your growth hormone levels through lifestyle modifications, such as: getting adequate sleep (7-9 hours), exercising regularly (high-intensity interval training, stretching, and strength training), reducing stress (yoga, meditation), maintaining a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamin D, and zinc, and considering supplements like arginine, glutamine, and GABA,
