Thyronorm - thyroid meds.   (Guess your doctor thinks you are hypothyroid)

obestat - It works by decreasing your appetite for weight loss.

flovite - Used to treat or prevent folic acid deficiency. It is a B complex vitamin

glumet - Used to treat type 2 (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes (formerly "adult-onset").

strovas -  ?

ostocalcium - Calcium

cosadex - (biculatamide) is a prostate cancer treatment introduced in 1995, and it's available as a prostate cancer drug treatment in most of the world. it also has a severe anti-androgen effect and drastically limits the production of testosterone in the adrenal glands and testes, as well as the action of testosterone at cellular receptor sites.



revital - balanced combination of vitamins, minerals and ginseng. Ginseng is a herbal extract, commonly used for added energy and well being.

What exactly do you want in interpretation and what suggestion are you looking for - can't read your mind. Surely you asked the doctor?  Plus it would help if you'd list Lab thyroid reference ranges.

Everything else looks good. Nothing way out for concern.

A doctor has suggested Strovas to my mom too. We were told this was to reduce bad cholesterol. Hope it helps
