Product Introduction
Lethyrox 50 Tablet is commonly prescribed to manage an underactive thyroid gland, a condition known as hypothyroidism. It supplies the body with the thyroid hormone that is not being produced adequately by your thyroid gland. By doing so, it helps in regulating energy levels and maintaining proper metabolism in the body.
Before starting this medicine, your doctor will check your thyroid hormone levels through a blood test to determine the appropriate dose. Once you begin treatment, follow-up tests will be conducted at regular intervals to monitor your progress and adjust the dosage if necessary. It is recommended to take this tablet on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning before having your first meal. For best results, take it consistently at the same time every day. It may take a few weeks to notice improvements, and in many cases, the treatment needs to be continued for life to keep symptoms under control. Stopping the medication abruptly can cause the symptoms to return.
Taking more than the prescribed dose may lead to certain side effects such as irregular heartbeat, tremors, restlessness, increased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and anxiety. These effects usually subside once the correct dosage is established. Seek immediate medical help if you experience serious symptoms like very high fever, extremely fast or irregular heart rate, low blood pressure, yellowing of the skin or eyes, confusion, or seizures.
Although this medicine may cause weight loss, it should never be used as a treatment for obesity. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive while taking this medicine, inform your doctor as the dosage might need adjustment. Lethyrox can interact with other medications, so always discuss any other medicines you are taking with your healthcare provider.
