₹220.00
Thyroxine 150 mcg tablets area synthetic thyroid hormone medication used primarily to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland). Common brand names include Thyronorm, Thyrox, and Eltroxin, and the medicine requires a prescription.
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Thyroxine sodium (Levothyroxine sodium).
- Uses:
- Treatment of hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels).
- Management of goiter (enlarged thyroid gland).
- Hormone replacement after surgical removal of the thyroid gland (thyroidectomy) or for certain thyroid cancers.
- Action: It replaces the missing natural thyroxine hormone your thyroid gland cannot produce, helping to regulate your body’s metabolism, energy levels, heart function, and mood.
How to Take It
- Timing: Take it once daily on an empty stomach, ideally first thing in the morning, at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, or a drink containing caffeine or milk.
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break it.
- Consistency: Take it at the same time each day to maintain stable hormone levels. Treatment is often lifelong.
- Interactions: Wait at least 4 hours before taking antacids, calcium or iron supplements, and multivitamins, as these can interfere with absorption.
Important Considerations
- Side Effects: Most side effects occur if the dose is too high and usually disappear once adjusted by a doctor. These may include palpitations, anxiety, tremors, diarrhea, weight loss, and headaches.
- Medical Supervision: Regular blood tests (e.g., TSH levels) are necessary to monitor the medication’s effectiveness and adjust the dosage.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: It is generally safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but you must inform your doctor, as dosage adjustments are often needed.
- Not for Weight Loss: This medication should not be used for treating obesity or for weight loss in individuals with normal thyroid function.
Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about your medication or potential interactions with other drugs or supplements.
