Euthyrox 25 Tablet is used to treat an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), when the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing levothyroxine 25mcg, a man-made form of the natural thyroid hormone thyroxine.
This medicine replaces the missing hormone, easing symptoms such as tiredness, weight gain, feeling cold, constipation and dry skin. It is also used to treat some types of goitre (enlarged thyroid) and after treatment for thyroid cancer. The 25mcg strength is often used as a starting dose, especially in older adults or people with heart disease. Take it once a day on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, with water.
Take it at the same time every day. Leave at least 4 hours between this medicine and calcium or iron supplements, antacids, soya products and high-fibre cereals, as they reduce absorption. Attend all thyroid blood tests.
This medicine must not be used for weight loss, as it can cause serious side effects in people with normal thyroid levels. Before starting, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, adrenal problems or osteoporosis, and about other medicines you take, especially blood thinners and diabetes medicines. Keep taking it during pregnancy, and tell your doctor, as your dose may need increasing. Contact your doctor if you have chest pain, a fast or irregular heartbeat, shaking, sweating, weight loss or difficulty sleeping. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
