Thyroxine Tablets IP 50 mcg Tabs- GA
₹83.70
Thyroxine Tablets IP 50 mcg contain levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland). This medication replaces the hormone your thyroid gland naturally produces to help regulate your body’s energy and metabolism.
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Levothyroxine sodium (50 micrograms or 0.05 mg).
- Primary Use: Treatment of hypothyroidism, goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), and certain types of thyroid cancer in conjunction with other therapies.
- Function: It works by providing adequate thyroid hormone levels to the body, alleviating symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, constipation, and muscle aches.
- Dosage: The dose is determined by a doctor based on blood tests (specifically TSH levels) and is often a lifelong medication.
- Administration: It must be taken on an empty stomach, usually in the morning, at least 30-60 minutes before breakfast, and swallowed whole with water.
Important Precautions & Warnings
- Do not use for weight loss: Thyroxine should not be used to treat obesity or for weight reduction in individuals with normal thyroid function, as high doses can cause serious side effects.
- Interactions: Certain foods (like soy, high-fiber meals, walnuts) and other medicines (antacids, iron, calcium supplements, some cholesterol-lowering and diabetes medications) can interfere with its absorption or effect. Maintain a gap of at least four hours between taking these items and thyroxine.
- Side Effects: Side effects are usually a sign that the dosage is too high and may mimic symptoms of an overactive thyroid, including headaches, nervousness, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), diarrhea, and weight loss.
- Pregnancy: It is generally safe during pregnancy but requires close medical supervision and potential dose adjustment.
- Consult a Doctor: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe symptoms like chest pain, very high temperature, fast or irregular heart rate, or confusion.
Always consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist regarding your specific condition and any other medications you are taking.
