A 60 year old male patient presented to OPD with complaints of abdominal bloating from last few weeks, increased frequency of urination day and night He has undergone cataract surgery for right eye in July 2020 No H/O DM, HTN, Constipation, Prostatomegaly He also underwent a brain surgery 4 years back for disturbances in vision, after which he was put on L thyroxine 150mcg (Records not available) His current report of TFT is attached 1) Can we descalate the dose to 125mcg? And repeat TFT after 6 weeks 2) Can he be prescribed Urimax D at bedtime and asked for a USG KUB with PVRU/Prostate Size meanwhile? 3) Will Rifaximin help in bloating issues?
1.As TSH is too low and patient is now hyperthyroid. Gradually reduce the dose to 75 mcg for 5 days and then 25 mcg for 5 days and stop L - Thyroxine completely for 1 week. Again get TFT done - and if required re - assess the dose 2.Urimax - D can be prescribed with out hesitation 3.Rifaximin along with a pre - probiotic , PPI and prokinetic will improve bloating
