CompositionTHYROX 75 TABLET 120 is a medicine used to treat an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), a condition in which the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone. It replaces the missing hormone, which helps restore normal energy levels, metabolism, and body temperature.
It contains thyroxine, a synthetic form of the natural thyroid hormone thyroxine. It is usually taken on an empty stomach, often 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, swallowed whole with water. It is usually taken long term; continue taking it regularly even when you feel well, and do not stop it without medical advice.
Some general measures can help alongside this medicine. These include taking it consistently at the same time each day and separating it from certain foods, supplements, or medicines such as calcium or iron, which can affect how it is absorbed.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any heart problems or other medicines you take, and whether you are pregnant, as your dose may need adjusting. Attend regular blood tests so your thyroid levels can be checked. Tell your doctor about a fast or irregular heartbeat, chest pain, or unusual restlessness, as these may mean the dose is too high.
