About Thyrogen Injection
Thyrogen Injection is indicated as an adjunctive diagnostic tool for serum thyroglobulin testing with or without radioiodine imaging in the follow-up of patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer who have previously undergone thyroidectomy.
Thyrogen Injection contains thyrotropin alfa which stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone. It helps to keep thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) steady while undergoing tests or treatments which can reduce TSH, leading to symptoms of hypothyroidism (low thyroid).
In some cases, Thyrogen Injection may cause nausea, headache, fatigue, vomiting, dizziness, and asthenia (weakness) in some cases. Most of these side effects of Thyrogen Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Thyrogen Injection is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Thyrogen Injection should be administered with caution in the elderly and people with a known history of heart disease as it may cause thyrogen-induced hyperthyroidism.

Thyrogen Injection stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone. It helps to keep thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) steady while undergoing tests or treatments which can reduce TSH, leading to symptoms of hypothyroidism (low thyroid).
The thyroglobulin test is primarily used as a tumour marker test to aid thyroid cancer treatment. This test calculates how much thyroglobulin is in the blood.
The effect of Thyrogen Injection on long term thyroid cancer outcomes has not been determined. When Thyrogen Injection is used to help detect thyroid cancer, there is still a chance all or parts of the cancer could be missed.
If Thyrogen Injection is administered with radioiodine, the contraindications to radioiodine also apply to this combination regimen. If Thyrogen Injection is used in combination with radioiodine, it is contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Thyroglobulin test: The thyroglobulin test measures the thyroglobulin level in the blood. A thyroglobulin test is mostly used as a tumour marker test to help guide thyroid cancer treatment. Thyroid cancer develops from the tissues of the thyroid gland. It is a disease in which cells grow abnormally and can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms include swelling or a lump in the neck.
