Product Details
Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet is classified as a "thyroid agent" and is primarily used to treat underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Hypothyroidism is a chronic condition that occurs when the thyroid gland (placed in the front lower region of the neck) fails to produce enough thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland produces hormones made up of tri-iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) that help the body regulate and use energy. The thyroid gland regulates the heart and digestive systems; without the correct amount of these hormones, the body cannot operate properly. Fatigue and weight gain are among the early signs of this condition. Other symptoms include feeling chilly even in warm weather, dry skin, excessive or insufficient menstruation (in women), easy weariness, constipation, weight gain, or even a lack of vitality. Hypothyroidism must be diagnosed and treated correctly in order to restore normal physical and mental activity. Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet includes 'Thyroxine sodium', which substitutes or supplies extra thyroid hormone in the body when the body is unable to manufacture enough thyroid hormone (Thyroxine) to fulfill its needs. Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet aids in the replacement of missing thyroid hormone, allowing for correct digestion, muscular function, brain growth, and bone health. Take Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet precisely as prescribed by the doctor. Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet typically has no adverse effects on the body. However, an overdose may result in diarrhea, muscular spasms, weight loss, feeling overheated even in cold circumstances, headache, agitation, insomnia, irritability, menstruation abnormalities (in women), and skin rash. Thus, it is preferable to take Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet at the same dose, and if you happen to miss it, do not increase the amount in order to obtain results quickly. If a person suffers any of these symptoms, their doctor may recommend that they undergo a blood test known as a 'thyroid function test', which measures three thyroid hormones - TSH, T3, and T4 - to determine whether or not the thyroid gland is working appropriately. Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet cannot be administered orally in individuals with myxedema coma. Your doctor may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements in conjunction with Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet to increase bone density caused by thyroid hormone overreplacement. Consult your doctor if the symptoms of low thyroid hormone-like weight gain, sluggish heartbeat, or sensitivity to cold, weariness, muscular pains, constipation, or dry skin increase or persist after a few days of using this medication. If people with diabetes use Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet, their glycemic control may deteriorate, requiring more antidiabetic agents or insulin. Thus, it is critical to carefully monitor blood glucose levels before starting, altering, or discontinuing thyroid hormone using Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet. The doctor determines the appropriate dose of Eltroxin 75 mcg Tablet after reviewing the patient's weight and thyroid function test results. Thyroid function should be monitored on a regular basis to ensure that the medication is working.
