Eutirox 25 mcg contains levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). By replacing or supplementing the body’s natural thyroid hormone, it helps restore hormonal balance, improving metabolism, energy levels, and overall well-being. It is also used to prevent and treat goiter (thyroid gland enlargement) and, in some cases, as part of thyroid cancer treatment.

• Restores normal thyroid hormone levels in individuals with hypothyroidism

• Relieves symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, and cold sensitivity

• Helps prevent or reduce goiter

• Supports normal growth and development in children with thyroid hormone deficiency

• May be used as suppression therapy in certain types of thyroid cancer

Take Eutirox 25 mcg orally once daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. For best results, take this medicine at the same time every day.

• The typical starting dose for adults is 25 to 50 mcg daily, adjusted based on TSH levels and clinical response

• Maintenance dose generally ranges from 100 to 125 mcg daily

• Dosage adjustments are made in increments of 12.5 to 25 mcg every 4 to 6 weeks

• Elderly patients or those with heart conditions may require lower starting doses

• The maximum dose rarely exceeds 200 mcg per day

• Do not use this medication if you are allergic to levothyroxine or any of its ingredients

• Contraindicated in patients with untreated thyrotoxicosis or uncorrected adrenal insufficiency

• Use with caution in individuals with heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes

• Should not be used to treat obesity or for weight loss in people with normal thyroid function

• Regular monitoring of TSH levels is essential to ensure proper dosing

• Rapid or irregular heartbeat

• Chest pain

Q1: Can I take Eutirox with other medications?
Eutirox can interact with certain medications, including calcium or iron supplements, antacids, and some diabetes medications. Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.

Q2: Is Eutirox safe during pregnancy?
Yes, Eutirox is safe and often necessary during pregnancy. Your doctor may adjust your dose to maintain healthy thyroid hormone levels for both mother and baby.

Q3: What should I do if I miss a dose?
