LEROID 25MCG TABLET

Description

Leroid 25mcg Tablet is a thyroid hormone replacement medication formulated to treat an underactive thyroid gland. It contains a precise, low dose of Levothyroxine Sodium, which is a synthetic version of the natural T4 thyroxine hormone produced by the body. This medication helps restore hormonal balance, regulating your body's metabolism, energy production, and overall cellular functions when your thyroid cannot produce enough on its own.

Uses

• Treatment of Hypothyroidism: Long-term replacement therapy for individuals with an underactive thyroid.

• Initial Therapy & Dose Titration: Used as a gentle starting dose for elderly individuals, patients with a history of heart issues, or for gradually adjusting a patient's overall thyroid hormone levels.

• Management of Goiter: Helps reduce or manage an enlarged thyroid gland under medical supervision.

Typical Dose

• Adults: The 25mcg strength is frequently used as a starting dose or for fine-tuning maintenance therapy. Your doctor will adjust the dosage over time based on routine thyroid blood tests (TSH and Free T4).

• Elderly or Cardiac Patients: Commonly initiated at 12.5mcg to 25mcg once daily to minimize the stress on the cardiovascular system.

• Infants and Children: Dosage is carefully calculated by a pediatrician based on body weight, age, and clinical response.

How to Take

• Take this tablet once daily on an empty stomach, exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.

• It must be swallowed with a full glass of water 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Proper absorption relies heavily on an empty stomach.

• Separate this medication by at least 4 hours from antacids, iron supplements, calcium supplements, or soy-based foods, as these compounds can block the absorption of levothyroxine.

• Consistency is critical; take it at the same time every single day. Do not discontinue the medication without speaking to your doctor, as treatment is typically lifelong.

Common Side Effects

(Side effects usually mean the dose needs adjustment and resemble symptoms of an overactive thyroid):

• Nervousness, anxiety, or mild sleep disturbances.

• Increased heart rate or mild palpitations.

• Heat intolerance, flushing, or increased sweating.

• Temporary hair loss (especially in children during the first month of therapy).

Important Warnings

• Not for Weight Control: Levothyroxine should never be used as a weight loss aid. High doses can lead to severe, life-threatening toxicities, especially when combined with diet pills.

• Heart Disease Monitoring: Inform your doctor immediately if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or an irregular heartbeat, as thyroid hormones increase the workload on your heart.

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Safe and essential to continue during pregnancy, though your dosage will likely need to be increased and monitored closely by your doctor.

• Store the tablets in their original blister pack in a cool, dry place below 30°C, safely away from light and damp environments.
