Composition of Eltroxin 25 Tablet

Eltroxin 25 Tablet contains Levothyroxine sodium 25 mcg. It belongs to the Synthetic thyroid hormone (T4) class of medicines.

Uses of Eltroxin 25 Tablet

  • Hypothyroidism
  • Thyroid hormone replacement
  • Initiation
  • Titration dose in elderly or cardiac patients (as prescribed)

Benefits of Eltroxin 25 Tablet

In Hypothyroidism
Eltroxin replaces the thyroid hormone your gland is no longer making, restoring energy, concentration, body temperature and weight to normal. Taken every day, it lets you live a completely normal life.
In Goitre
Eltroxin supplies the thyroid hormone the body lacks, which can shrink an enlarged thyroid gland and stop it growing further.
In Thyroid hormone replacement
Eltroxin provides the thyroid hormone your body cannot make itself, for example after thyroid surgery or radioiodine treatment, so metabolism stays normal.

How Eltroxin 25 Tablet works

Levothyroxine provides synthetic T4 hormone which the body converts to T3. It replaces deficient thyroid hormone and helps normalize metabolic activity and TSH levels.

How to take Eltroxin 25 Tablet

Take once daily on an empty stomach with water, 30-60 minutes before breakfast, or at bedtime 3-4 hours after food (consistent routine). Keep 4-hour gap from calcium/iron/antacids. Follow doctor-directed dose titration based on TSH.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause a racing heart, chest pain, tremor, fever and dangerous heart rhythm disturbance. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Eltroxin 25 Tablet

Most side effects of Eltroxin are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Palpitations
  • anxiety
  • insomnia
  • tremor
  • headache
  • sweating
  • diarrhea
  • weight loss (usually with excess dose)

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
