(2) Heat-producing drugs, commonly thyroid hormones. Because the thyroid function of simple obese patients is normal, in recent years, some doctors have added thyroid hormones on the basis of strict diet control, which can accelerate the weight loss of obese patients. The dose starts at 30 mg twice a day and gradually increases to 60 mg two to three times a day. Because thyroid hormones have an impact on myocardial function, and obese patients are often accompanied by coronary heart disease, caution should be exercised when using large doses of thyroid hormones.
