label: Description
content: Indications: "The phenomenon of menstrual irregularity caused by worry or tension is familiar. The phenomenon of infertility of similar cause is less often seen. And yet the management of infertility can be especially difficult when neither male nor female presents a pathology which readily explains the failure of conception. In the complex emotional relationship between husband and wife, anxieties and tensions which result from the abscence of pregnancy may well become an increasing barrier against conception. For both male and female, THYRONESIN, on tablet q.i.d., provides gentle, safe mental and muscular relaxation and the classical therapy of purified thyroid extract."
