PRODUCT DETAILS  
   
Brand Name Eltroxin
Generic Name Levothyroxine sodium
Strength 50 mcg
Dosage Form Tablet
Class Name Thyroid Hormone
Indication/Usage Hypothyroidism
Dosage and Administration If the dose of Levothyroxine sodium (Eltroxin®) is increased too rapidly, symptoms such as diarrhea, nervousness, rapid pulse
  insomnia, tremors and sometimes anginal pain where there is latent myocardial ischaemia may occur, and the dosage must 
  be reduced or with held for a day or two, then restarted at a lower level. A pre-therapy ECG is valuable, as changes induced by
  hypothyroidism may be confused with ECG evidence of ischaemia. Due to lack of data it is not appropriate to crush 
  Levothyroxine sodium (Eltroxin®) tablets and thyroxine tablets without a score-line must not be halved. 
  Levothyroxine sodium (Eltroxin®)  tablets should be preferably be taken on an empty stomach.
  Missed dosage
  If a scheduled daily dose is missed, the dose should be taken as soon as the patient remembers, unless it is almost time for 
  the patient’s next dose. Two doses should not be taken together.
Warning and Precautions The initial dose and any dose increments should be carefully chosen in elderly and in patients with cardiac symptoms,
  diabetes mellitus or insipidus: too high initial dose or too rapid increase may cause or aggravate symptoms of angina, 
  arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, cardiac failure or a sudden raise in blood pressure. Levothyroxine sodium (Eltroxin®)
  should not be used for the treatment of obesity or weight loss. 
  In euthyroid patients, doses within the range of daily hormonal requirements are ineffective for weight reduction. Larger 
  doses may produce serious or even life threatening manifestations of toxicity, particularly when given in association with 
  sympathomimetic amines such as those used for anorectic effects.
  Patients with myxoedema have an increased sensitivity for thyroid hormones; in these patients the starting dose should be low 
  with slow dosing increments.
  Effects on Ability to Drive and Use Machines
  From the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of thyroxine, treatment with Levothyroxine sodium (Eltroxin®) 
  would not be expected to interfere with ability to drive or operate machinery.
Contraindication Hypersensitivity to any component of the preparation.
