LETHYROX 50MCG 100 tablets

LETHYROX 50MCG

LETHYROX 50MCG TABLETS are synthetic thyroid hormones that replace the body’s natural thyroid hormone production when it is insufficient to meet the body’s needs. The thyroid hormone supplement LETHYROX 50MCG TABLET is used to treat hypothyroidism and inadequate thyroid hormone production. It includes levothyroxine, a synthetic thyroid hormone that is chemically similar to our gland’s naturally produced thyroxine. Levothyroxine facilitates the replenishment of thyroid hormone and/or the reduction of stress on the thyroid gland.

Hypothyroidism is a chronic condition in which the thyroid gland (located behind the throat in the neck) is unable to produce enough thyroid hormone. Triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine make up thyroid hormones, which regulate the body’s metabolic rate (T4). When the thyroid is underactive, the body’s metabolism slows and a person experiences less energy. Other symptoms include weariness, constipation, weight gain, feeling cold even in warm weather, dry skin, excessive or insufficient menstruation (in women), and even depression. Hypothyroidism must be treated for the metabolism of the body to return to normal (basal metabolic rate).

If you exhibit any of the aforementioned symptoms, your physician will order a blood test known as a “thyroid function test,” which evaluates three thyroid hormones: TSH, T3, and T4. TSH levels that are too high and T3/T4 levels that are too low are indicative of a malfunctioning thyroid gland. Your doctor will adjust your LETHYROX 50MCG TABLET dosage based on your body weight and the results of thyroid function tests. The medicine may take a few weeks to get its full impact. To ensure you are getting the most out of your LETHYROX 50MCG TABLET, it is suggested that you get your thyroid function evaluated on a regular basis.

As instructed by your doctor, take LETHYROX 50MCG TABLET once day, on an empty stomach, one-half to one hour before breakfast, with a full glass of water. A LETHYROX 50MCG TABLET overdose can include headaches, anxiety, restlessness, irritability, diarrhea, muscle spasm, weight loss, feeling hot even when it’s cold, menstrual irregularities (in women), and rash. Do not take a double dose if you miss a dose, as this may result in severe side effects.

In addition to LETHYROX 50MCG TABLET, your doctor may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements for bone health. LETHYROX 50MCG TABLET is not indicated for use only in weight loss. People with diabetes who use LETHYROX 50MCG TABLET may experience alterations in blood glucose control, necessitating the administration of additional antidiabetic medications or insulin. Patients with diabetes should consult a physician and regularly monitor their blood glucose levels after initiating, modifying, or discontinuing thyroid hormone therapy.

Advice on Diet and Lifestyle

You can reduce your symptoms and improve your thyroid function by consuming the proper foods and taking your prescribed medications as directed. Patients with hypothyroidism benefit from iodine, zinc, and selenium. In contrast, iodine and selenium supplements should only be used if prescribed by a physician.

In hypothyroidism, calcium (hypocalcemia) and vitamin D are frequently lost. In this case, individuals with hypothyroidism should adopt calcium-rich diets.

Those with hypothyroidism typically have a slower metabolism, so consuming more protein may help speed it up.

Yoga and aerobic exercises may aid in boosting your metabolism everyday.

People with hypothyroidism should consume more fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. These low-calorie meals might prevent weight gain.

Goitrogens are present in soy foods (tofu), cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, spinach, sweet potatoes, cassava, peaches, strawberries, millet, pine nuts, and peanuts, among others.

Recommendations

Significant or life-threatening poisoning symptoms may arise from excessive dosages. Therefore, if you forget to take your LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET, take it as soon as you remember. If your next scheduled dose is approaching, you should skip the missed dose and continue taking your medication as prescribed by your doctor.

It is not suggested to use LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET for the treatment of obesity or weight loss.

As the dose may need to be adjusted, patients with adrenaline or pituitary gland diseases, heart disease, diabetes, or coagulation disorders should not use LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET without first visiting their doctor.

Patients with diabetes who are using LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET should see their doctor before beginning this medicine, since it may affect glycemic control and need the use of additional antidiabetic drugs or insulin.

Regular usage of LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET may decrease bone mineral density, particularly in postmenopausal women. Consult your physician about the lowest effective dose for your bone health.

Inform your doctor if you are taking LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET prior to undergoing surgery.

Normal thyroid function tests are conducted on an empty stomach after a six- to eight-hour fast.

Those with a rare genetic illness characterized by galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not use this medication.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Hypothyroidism, also known as underactive thyroid, is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not generate sufficient thyroid hormones to meet the needs of the body. When thyroid hormone levels are low, the body’s functioning and metabolism slow down. Hypothyroidism is characterized by fatigue, increased sensitivity to cold, constipation, dry skin, unexplained weight gain, bloated face, hoarseness of voice, and muscle weakness. In some cases of hypothyroidism, calcium and vitamin D may be lost.

FAQs

The only permitted usage of LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET is for the treatment of hypothyroidism, not weight reduction.

It is not advised to consume LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET with food. Please take it on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes prior to your morning tea/coffee/breakfast.

Consult your doctor if you have sudden weight gain, fatigue, increased sensitivity to cold, dry skin, constipation, a puffy face, muscle weakness, anxiety, or hoarseness in your voice. Consult with an Endocrinologist/Physician for continuing treatment.

You should have a thyroid profile test that includes T3, T4, and TSH levels performed each month. After using LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET as prescribed by your doctor, your TSH level will decrease.

Depending on your age, gender, and health, your thyroid hormone levels may fluctuate (like pregnancy, chronic condition or complication). TSH levels in a 30-year-old woman may be roughly 4.2 mU/L, but they may reach 8.9 mU/L in a 90-year-old man. In addition, your stress level, diet, medications, and menstrual cycle might influence your thyroid hormone levels.

Reduce your salt intake to fewer than 2300 mg per day. When you consume excessive amounts of salt, your blood pressure increases, particularly if you have an underactive thyroid.

Based on the thyroid profile test, an Endocrinologist may advise a pregnant lady to take a high dosage of LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET to meet the demand for high levels of thyroid hormone. During pregnancy, it is crucial to treat an underactive thyroid, as low levels of thyroid hormone in the mother might harm both the mother and the fetus.

If you have hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid, you can have a TSH test once a year to see whether your thyroid hormone levels are within the normal range.

Do not take two doses of LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET if you miss a dose. If you take too much LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET, you may have anxiety, insomnia, a slight rise in temperature, an increase in blood pressure, or loose stools. In this scenario, you should immediately contact your physician and only take the medication with his or her approval.

Pregnant women with untreated hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid may experience low hemoglobin (anemia), high blood pressure, muscle discomfort, and weakness. In addition, it increases the likelihood of miscarriage, premature delivery (before 37 weeks of pregnancy), and stillbirth. Untreated hypothyroidism during pregnancy might potentially promote hypothyroidism in the baby. Endocrinologists should be consulted if you have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism.

During the initial few months of treatment, hair loss is a possibility. As your body adjusts to the medicine, this effect is often short-lived. Inform your physician if this effect persists or worsens so that you can receive further treatment.

Long-term administration of LEVOTHYROXINE TABLET may result in a decrease in bone mineral density. For further information, see your physician.
