Euthyrox 100 mcg 100 tab

Euthyrox 100 mcg is a thyroid replacement tablet from Merck used when your thyroid gland is underactive. It tops up the hormone your body needs to keep energy, weight and mood steady.

• Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
• Goitre (enlarged thyroid)
• After thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine treatment
• Certain types of thyroid cancer support

The tablet supplies levothyroxine, a man-made version of the body's natural thyroxine. It restores normal hormone levels so metabolism, heart rate and temperature stay balanced.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually on an empty stomach in the morning with water, at least 30 minutes before food, tea or coffee. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.

• Palpitations or fast heartbeat
• Tremors or feeling restless
• Sweating, heat intolerance
• Headache, sleep trouble

Tell your doctor about heart disease, diabetes, adrenal problems or pregnancy. Calcium, iron and antacid tablets should be taken a few hours apart from this medicine.

Store below 25 degrees C in a dry place, away from sunlight. Keep the strip in its pack and out of children's reach.
