T4-Thyro 50Mcg 100Tab

T4-Thyro 50Mcg 100Tab

Description:

T4-Thyro 50 mcg 100 tab is a prescription thyroid hormone medicine containing levothyroxine, used as a replacement therapy in patients with reduced or absent thyroid function. It provides synthetic thyroxine (T4), which the body converts to the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3), helping to restore normal metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. This product is intended for adults and children as directed by a physician and is commonly used for long-term management of hypothyroidism and related thyroid disorders.

Indications:

• Treatment of hypothyroidism of any cause (primary, secondary, or tertiary), including autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) and post-surgical or post-radioiodine hypothyroidism.
• Management of simple or nodular goiter, including goiter associated with thyroid hormone deficiency.
• Adjunct therapy in the management of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis when thyroid hormone replacement is required.
• Treatment of myxedema coma and myxedema stupor (usually in a hospital setting, with appropriate monitoring and often using parenteral forms initially).
• Prevention of recurrence of goiter after surgical removal of thyroid tissue, when used as suppressive therapy as directed by a specialist.
• Relief of symptoms of thyroid hormone deficiency such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, and slowed heart rate, when due to hypothyroidism.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levothyroxine sodium – 50 mcg per tablet (synthetic thyroxine, T4).

Full excipient (inactive ingredient) list is not available in the provided information. For complete composition, please refer to the official package leaflet.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only under medical supervision. Dosage must be individualized based on clinical response and laboratory tests (TSH, free T4).
• Usual adult starting dose for mild hypothyroidism is often lower than the full replacement dose and may be gradually increased; your doctor will determine the appropriate regimen.
• For adults requiring a maintenance dose of 50 mcg, the typical dose is 1 tablet once daily, or as prescribed by the physician.
• In elderly patients, those with cardiovascular disease, or severe long-standing hypothyroidism, treatment is usually started at a lower dose and titrated slowly.
• 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.
• Take at the same time each day for consistent hormone levels.
• Do not crush or chew unless advised; swallow tablets whole with water.
• Certain foods and medicines (e.g., iron, calcium, antacids, some cholesterol-lowering resins, soy products) can reduce absorption. Take them at least 4 hours apart from levothyroxine.
• Do not change the dose or stop taking T4-Thyro 50 mcg without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well. Hypothyroidism usually requires long-term or lifelong therapy.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Clinical Benefits:

• Restores normal thyroid hormone levels, helping to correct hormonal imbalance in hypothyroidism.
• Improves metabolism, supporting healthy energy levels, body weight regulation, and temperature control.
• Helps relieve classic hypothyroid symptoms such as fatigue, lethargy, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, and hair thinning.
• Supports normal heart function, mental alertness, and overall quality of life when used at appropriate doses.
• Assists in reducing the size of certain types of goiter and helps prevent recurrence after thyroid surgery when used as suppressive therapy.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in untreated thyrotoxicosis (hyperthyroidism) and in patients with uncorrected adrenal insufficiency.
• Do not use for weight loss or obesity treatment in euthyroid (normal thyroid) individuals. High doses may cause serious or life-threatening side effects, especially when combined with other weight-loss drugs.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with cardiovascular disease (e.g., coronary artery disease, angina, arrhythmias, hypertension) and in the elderly; dose adjustments and close monitoring are required.
• 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.
• Thyroid hormone requirements may change during pregnancy and breastfeeding; regular monitoring and dose adjustment by your doctor are essential.
• Some medicines can interact with levothyroxine (e.g., iron and calcium supplements, antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, proton pump inhibitors, certain anticonvulsants, oral contraceptives, warfarin, and others). Always inform your doctor and pharmacist about all medicines and supplements you use.
• Regular blood tests (TSH, free T4) are necessary to ensure the dose is appropriate and to avoid under- or over-treatment.
• If you experience symptoms of overdosage (palpitations, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, tremor, nervousness, excessive sweating, weight loss, insomnia), contact your doctor immediately.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking other medications, or if you have medical conditions such as heart disease, adrenal insufficiency, diabetes, or osteoporosis.
• Keep out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion, especially by children, may cause serious harm and requires immediate medical attention.

Side Effects:

• When dosed correctly, levothyroxine is usually well tolerated. Side effects are mainly related to overdose or excessive sensitivity and mimic symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
• Common possible side effects (usually with excessive doses): palpitations, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), irregular heartbeat, nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremor, headache, insomnia, heat intolerance, excessive sweating, weight loss despite normal or increased appetite, diarrhea, menstrual irregularities, and muscle weakness.
• Less common or serious side effects: chest pain, shortness of breath, severe palpitations, arrhythmias, signs of heart attack, severe headache, seizures, or signs of allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling of face or throat, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing).
• Long-term overtreatment may contribute to decreased bone mineral density and increased risk of osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women.
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, severe palpitations, or signs of allergic reaction.
