Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The reasons for your symptoms tiredness,obesity,weakness etc. may be the lack of exercises,anemia,or some chronic infection etc.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis. tetroxin-t3 is a good drug,but it is not useful to reduce the weight. Other wise you can use it as a supplement to the thyroxin.
Take more of green leafy vegetables,pulses,sprouts,and protein rich foods to have blood,general health and resistance against infections.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If you are hypothyroid patient then you can take the Teratroxin,, weight loss is the side effect of this drugs and not the indication, and this may happen or may not happen in each patient, if you are not hypothyroid patient then you can not take this drug just for its side effect of exerting loss of weight, I hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
