What is Thyrogen?

Thyrogen is a brand-name prescription drug that is used to prepare patients for thyroid cancer testing after surgery or other cancer therapy. Thyrogen is also used after surgical removal of the thyroid gland to help target residual thyroid cancer cells for removal using radioactive iodine.

The active ingredient in Thyrogen, thyrotropin alfa, is very similar to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). It activates any thyroid cancer cells so that they can be detected using a blood test or a body scan after being administered radioactive iodine. If a patient is being given radioactive iodine to remove residual cancer cells, the iodine is absorbed by the cells that have been activated by Thyrogen. Normally, such testing would require that the patient stop taking thyroid hormone replacement drugs.

Thyrogen is given as two intramuscular injections 24 hours apart prior to diagnostic testing or radioactive iodine treatment.

What are the side effects of Thyrogen?

Most patients will experience injection site reactions, such as pain, redness, and bruising, but these will pass in a day or two. The most common side effects of Thyrogen include, but are not limited to, nausea, vomiting, headache, weakness, fatigue, and flu symptoms (in the first 48 hours following injection). Allergic reactions are common, including rash, itching, flushing, and breathing problems.
