Thyroxine 12.5 mcg Tabs
₹169.12
Thyroxine 12.5 mcg tablets (also known as levothyroxine) are a prescription medication used primarily to treat an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). It works by replacing the hormone that the thyroid gland is not producing in sufficient quantity, which helps to regulate the body’s energy and metabolism.
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Thyroxine sodium (a synthetic form of the T4 thyroid hormone).
- Primary Use: Treatment of hypothyroidism, management of goitre (enlarged thyroid gland), and in specific cases of thyroid cancer.
- Dosage: The 12.5 mcg (microgram) strength is one of the lowest available doses. Your doctor determines the appropriate dosage based on your age, body weight, and regular blood tests (TSH levels).
- Administration: It must be taken on an empty stomach, usually the first thing in the morning, at least 30-60 minutes before breakfast, tea, or coffee to ensure optimal absorption. Tablets should be swallowed whole; do not crush or chew them.
- Duration: This is typically a lifelong medication; you should not stop taking it without consulting your doctor, as symptoms are likely to return.
Important Precautions & Side Effects
Most side effects occur when the dose is higher than needed and typically disappear once the correct dosage is established.
- Common Side Effects: Palpitations (irregular heartbeat), headache, nervousness, anxiety, diarrhea, weight loss, tremors, increased appetite, and restlessness.
- Interactions: Certain foods and other medications can interfere with absorption. Maintain a gap of at least 4 hours before taking antacids, calcium or iron supplements, and multivitamins.
- Warnings: Inform your doctor if you have existing heart conditions, diabetes, or adrenal insufficiency before starting treatment. It is not intended for weight loss in individuals with normal thyroid function.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Thyroxine is generally safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but your doctor must monitor and adjust the dosage as hormone requirements often change.
Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dose and duration of the medication.
