Euthyrox 25 Mcg Tab 100

Description:

Euthyrox 25 mcg Tab 100 is a prescription thyroid hormone replacement medicine containing levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of the natural thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It is used to treat and manage hypothyroidism and other thyroid-related disorders by restoring normal thyroid hormone levels in the body. By compensating for a deficient or absent thyroid gland, Euthyrox helps normalize metabolism, energy production, and many vital body functions. This product is intended for use under the supervision of a healthcare professional and is not a vitamin, supplement, or over-the-counter health aid.

Indications:

• Treatment of hypothyroidism of any cause (primary, secondary, or tertiary), including autoimmune thyroiditis (chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis/Hashimoto’s disease).
• Management of goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), including diffuse or nodular goiter, to help reduce thyroid enlargement and prevent recurrence after surgery or radioiodine therapy.
• Adjunct therapy in the management of certain types of thyroid cancer, as directed by an endocrinologist, to suppress thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
• Treatment and prevention of symptoms associated with low thyroid hormone levels such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, constipation, slowed heart rate, and cognitive slowing, when due to hypothyroidism.
• Supportive therapy in severe hypothyroid states such as myxedema, myxedema coma, and stupor (usually in a hospital setting and often in combination with other treatments).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levothyroxine sodium – 25 mcg per tablet (synthetic thyroxine, T4).
• Inactive ingredients (excipients) may include fillers, binders, and coloring agents; the exact excipient list and their concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website. Please refer to the official package leaflet for full composition.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Dosage is individualized based on age, body weight, clinical condition, laboratory results (TSH, T4), and response to therapy.
• Typical adult starting doses for hypothyroidism are often low and gradually increased; 25 mcg tablets allow fine dose adjustment, especially in elderly patients or those with heart disease. Your physician will determine the exact daily dose (e.g., 25 mcg, 50 mcg, or higher by combining tablets).
• Take Euthyrox once daily, preferably in the morning, on an empty stomach, at least 30–60 minutes before breakfast, with a full glass of water.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor instructs otherwise. For patients who cannot swallow, specific instructions from a healthcare professional should be followed.
• Take Euthyrox at the same time every day to maintain consistent 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 continue your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Certain foods and medicines (e.g., iron, calcium, antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, cholestyramine, sucralfate, soy products) can reduce levothyroxine absorption. Take these products at least 4 hours apart from Euthyrox, as advised by your doctor or pharmacist.
• Do not change the dose or stop taking Euthyrox without consulting your doctor, as hypothyroidism is usually a long-term or lifelong condition.

Clinical Benefits:

• Restores normal thyroid hormone levels, helping to correct the underlying hormone deficiency in hypothyroidism.
• Improves energy levels, reduces fatigue, and supports normal metabolism and body temperature regulation.
• Helps normalize heart rate, cholesterol levels, and other metabolic parameters affected by low thyroid function.
• Reduces or helps prevent enlargement of the thyroid gland (goiter) and may support long-term thyroid health when used as directed.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision. Euthyrox is a potent thyroid hormone and inappropriate use can cause serious side effects.
• Contraindicated in untreated thyrotoxicosis (overactive thyroid), untreated adrenal insufficiency, and known hypersensitivity to levothyroxine or any of the excipients.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with cardiovascular disease (e.g., coronary artery disease, angina, arrhythmias, hypertension) and in elderly patients. Dose adjustments must be gradual and carefully monitored.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, adrenal or pituitary disorders, osteoporosis, or any serious chronic illness.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Do not start, stop, or change your dose without medical advice. Adequate thyroid hormone levels are essential for the health of both mother and baby. Dose adjustments are often required during pregnancy.
• Diabetes patients may require adjustment of antidiabetic medication when starting or changing levothyroxine dose. Monitor blood glucose regularly.
• Do not use Euthyrox for weight loss or obesity treatment in euthyroid (normal thyroid) patients. Normal doses do not cause weight loss in individuals with normal thyroid function, and higher doses can be dangerous.
• Several medicines can interact with levothyroxine (e.g., iron and calcium supplements, antacids, certain cholesterol-lowering drugs, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, estrogen-containing therapies, and others). Inform your doctor and pharmacist about all medicines and supplements you are taking.
• Regular monitoring of thyroid function tests (TSH, free T4) is required to ensure correct dosing and avoid under- or over-treatment.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as heart disease, adrenal insufficiency, diabetes, or osteoporosis.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• When dosed correctly, Euthyrox is usually well tolerated. Side effects are most often related to overdose or too rapid dose increase, leading to symptoms of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
• Common signs of excessive dose may include palpitations, rapid or irregular heartbeat, chest pain, nervousness, irritability, tremor, insomnia, headache, sweating, heat intolerance, weight loss despite increased appetite, diarrhea, and menstrual irregularities.
• Long-term overtreatment may contribute to decreased bone mineral density (osteoporosis), especially in postmenopausal women, and may increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias.
• Allergic reactions to excipients are rare but possible and may present as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Seek immediate medical attention if signs of a severe allergic reaction occur.
• Contact your doctor promptly if you experience chest pain, severe palpitations, shortness of breath, sudden weight changes, severe headache, or any unusual or persistent symptoms.
