Pig Thyroid is a desiccated thyroid extract derived from porcine glands, primarily used in hormone replacement therapy. The core process involves extraction and standardization to ensure consistent potency of T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). While the exact CAS number varies by specific component, the bulk extract is regulated as a biological drug substance.
Strictly contraindicated in untreated adrenal insufficiency or acute myocardial infarction. Store at controlled room temperature (20°C–25°C) away from moisture. Handle with PPE to avoid allergic reactions to animal proteins during manufacturing.
