Description
Introduction
Euthyrox 100mcg Tablet is a prescription medication containing levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It is primarily used to treat hypothyroidism—a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones for healthy metabolism. By supplementing low thyroid hormone levels, Euthyrox helps regulate metabolism, energy production, and overall organ function.
Patients using Euthyrox typically notice improvements in fatigue, cold sensitivity, and mood stability within a few weeks. It is recognized for safety, efficacy, and adherence to international pharmaceutical standards. Common side effects may include headache, restlessness, sweating, or temporary hair thinning, especially during dose adjustments. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider before starting therapy.
General Indications
Euthyrox 100mcg is indicated for treatment and long-term management of hypothyroidism across all age groups. It also helps prevent goiter, maintain hormone balance after thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine therapy, and manage certain thyroid cancers.
For patients with autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or post-thyroidectomy care, Euthyrox restores hormone levels, stabilizing energy metabolism, improving mental clarity, and supporting cardiovascular health. In children, proper thyroid levels are essential for growth and development. DoctorOnCall International provides verified Euthyrox from licensed Malaysian pharmacies, ensuring authenticity and professional oversight.
How to Take Euthyrox 100mcg Tablet
Take Euthyrox orally once daily, preferably at the same time each morning before breakfast. It is most effective on an empty stomach, 30–60 minutes before eating. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Maintain consistency; if a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible unless it’s near the next dose—never double up.
Avoid taking other medications, especially calcium or iron supplements, within 4 hours. Follow your doctor’s instructions and report unusual symptoms. Regular blood tests are recommended to monitor thyroid hormone levels and adjust dosage.
Dosage Information
Euthyrox is available in various strengths. 100mcg is a common maintenance dose for adults. Dosage varies based on age, weight, severity, and overall health. Initial doses are usually lower and gradually increased. Children, elderly, or patients with heart conditions may start on lower doses.
Never self-adjust or discontinue without consulting your healthcare provider. Dosage should be determined based on TSH measurements and treatment goals.
