Why thyroxine tablets are prescribed in hyperthyroidism?

Thyroxine tablets are typically prescribed in hyperthyroidism to help manage hormone levels and prevent the body from producing excessive thyroid hormones. In specific cases, such as after the removal of the thyroid gland or during treatment of Graves' disease with radioactive iodine, thyroxine supplements are necessary to maintain normal metabolic function. By providing a controlled dose of thyroid hormone, these tablets help stabilize the patient's condition and alleviate symptoms associated with low hormone levels.
