What is Thyrogen?

Thyrogen is a manmade version of a protein similar to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH is normally produced and released into your body by your pituitary gland. TSH helps to control the production of the thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine.

Thyrogen is used alongside radioiodine treatment to completely remove the remains of thyroid tissue in patients who have had all or part of their thyroid gland removed. Thyrogen is used in patients who have well-differentiated thyroid cancer (cancer cells that look and grow like normal cells that spread slower than undifferentiated cancer cells), and where the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body.

Thyrogen is also used as an additional tool to help diagnose for serum thyroglobulin (thyroglobulin acts as a tumor marker) with or without radioiodine imaging, as a follow-up in patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer who have already had all or part of their thyroid gland removed.

Thyrogen active ingredients

Thyrotropin (TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone. The binding of thyrotropin to TSH receptors on normal thyroid cells or on well-differentiated thyroid cancer tissue stimulates the uptake of iodine and the incorporation of the iodine into thyroglobulin for the production of thyroid hormone.

Thyrogen is given as an injection into a muscle of the buttock. Thyrogen injections are usually given in 2 separate injections 24 hours apart. You may also be given radioactive iodine 24 hours after your last Thyrogen dose. If you need a thyroid scan, it should take place 48 hours after you have taken the radioactive iodine. You may also be given steroid medicine to prevent tumors from growing larger while you are receiving Thyrogen treatment.

The most common side effects caused by Thyrogen include:

• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
