Eltroxin Aspen 100 Mcg 100 Tablets

Description:

Eltroxin Aspen 100 mcg tablets are a prescription thyroid hormone replacement medicine containing levothyroxine, a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4). They are used to treat and manage hypothyroidism and other thyroid disorders by restoring normal thyroid hormone levels in the body. Each tablet provides a precise 100 mcg dose, helping to relieve symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and slowed metabolism. This product is intended for adults and children as directed by a physician and must be used under strict medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), including primary, secondary, and tertiary hypothyroidism.
• Management of goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), including simple goiter and nodular goiter.
• Treatment of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) when thyroid hormone replacement is required.
• Adjunct therapy with antithyroid agents in the management of certain forms of hyperthyroidism after achieving euthyroid state, as directed by a specialist.
• Treatment of myxedema coma and stupor as part of intensive medical management (usually in hospital settings and under specialist care).
• Prevention of recurrence of goiter after surgical removal of the thyroid or after radioiodine therapy, when replacement therapy is indicated.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levothyroxine sodium – 100 mcg per tablet (synthetic thyroxine, T4).
• Other tablet excipients: full excipient list (including fillers, binders, colorants, and preservatives) is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the package leaflet for complete details, especially if you have allergies or intolerances.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Eltroxin Aspen 100 mcg tablets must be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change your dose or stop treatment without medical advice.
• Usual administration: take the tablet once daily on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning, at least 30–60 minutes before breakfast, with a full glass of water.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew unless your doctor advises otherwise. For patients who cannot swallow, follow your doctor’s specific instructions (e.g., dispersing in water).
• Dosage is individualized based on age, body weight, clinical condition, thyroid hormone levels, and response to treatment. Your doctor will start with a low dose and adjust gradually.
• In elderly patients, patients with cardiovascular disease, or those with long-standing hypothyroidism, lower initial doses and slower titration are usually required.
• Take this medicine at the same time every day to maintain stable thyroid hormone levels.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
• Certain foods and medicines (such as calcium, iron supplements, antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, and some cholesterol-lowering agents) can reduce absorption. Take them at least 4 hours apart from Eltroxin.
• Regular blood tests (TSH, T4, and sometimes T3) are required to monitor your response and adjust the dose.

Clinical Benefits:

• Restores normal thyroid hormone levels, helping to correct hormone deficiency in hypothyroidism.
• Improves symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, hair loss, constipation, and slowed heart rate associated with low thyroid function.
• Supports normal metabolism, energy production, and body temperature regulation.
• Helps maintain healthy cardiovascular, nervous, and digestive system function by normalizing thyroid status.
• Reduces and helps prevent recurrence of goiter when used as directed by a physician.
• Provides stable, predictable dosing with synthetic levothyroxine, closely mimicking natural thyroxine (T4) produced by the thyroid gland.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision. Incorrect dosing can cause serious health problems, including heart complications and severe metabolic disturbances.
• Contraindicated in untreated thyrotoxicosis (overactive thyroid), untreated adrenal insufficiency, and in patients with known hypersensitivity to levothyroxine or any component of the formulation.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with cardiovascular disease (such as coronary artery disease, angina, arrhythmias, hypertension) and in elderly patients. Dose adjustments must be gradual.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Thyroid hormone requirements may change during pregnancy and lactation; dose adjustments and close monitoring are usually required.
• Inform your doctor if you have diabetes, adrenal or pituitary disorders, osteoporosis, or any other chronic medical condition, as levothyroxine can affect these conditions or interact with their treatments.
• Many medicines interact with levothyroxine (e.g., antidiabetic drugs, anticoagulants like warfarin, antidepressants, antiepileptics, oral contraceptives, calcium and iron supplements, antacids, and cholesterol-lowering resins). Always inform your doctor and pharmacist about all medicines and supplements you are taking.
• Do not use this medicine for weight loss in people with normal thyroid function. High doses for weight reduction can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
• Regular monitoring of thyroid function tests is essential to ensure you are on the correct dose and to avoid under- or over-treatment.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision and prescription.
• Keep out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion, especially by children, can cause serious or life-threatening effects and requires immediate medical attention.

Side Effects:

• When the dose is appropriate, levothyroxine is usually well tolerated. Side effects are most often due to overdose or overly rapid dose increases, leading to symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
• Common signs of excessive dose may include palpitations, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, shortness of breath, nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremor, insomnia, headache, sweating, heat intolerance, weight loss despite good appetite, diarrhea, and menstrual irregularities.
• Less common or rare side effects can include allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing), hair loss (usually temporary at the start of therapy), muscle weakness, and bone loss (osteoporosis) with long-term overtreatment.
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe chest pain, fast or irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, confusion, seizures, or signs of severe allergic reaction.
• If you notice any persistent or bothersome symptoms, contact your doctor promptly for dose review and further evaluation.
