Medically reviewed by Dr. Balaji Krishnan, MBBS · Updated September 2026
Thyrox 100 Tablet contains Levothyroxine (100 mcg). It belongs to the Thyroid hormone replacement class of medicines.
Thyroxine replaces the thyroid hormone your gland is not making enough of, restoring your body's normal pace.
Take on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before breakfast. Do not take with calcium or iron supplements. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
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.
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.
Most side effects of Thyrox are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately 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.
| Pregnancy | Generally considered safe in pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to be. |
|---|---|
| Breastfeeding | Generally considered safe while breastfeeding. |
| Alcohol | Alcohol may worsen the side effects of this medicine. Limit it. |
| Driving | Not expected to affect your ability to drive. |
| Kidney | No dose change is usually needed in kidney disease. |
| Liver | No dose change is usually needed in liver disease. |
| Habit forming | No |
Take it on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, with water, and wait at least half an hour to an hour before eating or drinking anything else. Food, tea and coffee substantially reduce how much is absorbed. Separate it by at least four hours from calcium, iron, antacids and multivitamins — these bind it and block absorption. This is usually lifelong treatment. Do not stop when your reports come back normal; the normal report is the medicine working. Report palpitations, tremor, marked weight loss or difficulty sleeping — these suggest the dose is too high. Tell your doctor if you become pregnant; the requirement usually rises and needs prompt adjustment.
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with an untreated overactive thyroid or untreated adrenal insufficiency.
Calcium, iron, antacids, multivitamins and some cholesterol medicines block absorption — separate them by four hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner or diabetes medicine; doses may need review.
Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
Keep to the same brand where you can, and take it at the same time every morning. Have your thyroid blood test repeated as your doctor advises after any dose change.
Medicines with the same active ingredient (Levothyroxine (100 mcg)). Ask your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands.
