About Eltroxin 75mcg Tablet
Eltroxin 75mcg Tablet is primarily used to treat underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Hypothyroidism is a chronic disorder, which happens when the thyroid gland (located in the front lower part of the neck) is unable to make enough thyroid hormone.
Eltroxin 75mcg Tablet contains Thyroxine sodium, which replaces or provides more thyroid hormone in the body when the body is unable to naturally produce enough thyroid hormone (Thyroxine) to meet the requirements of the body.
Eltroxin 75mcg Tablet may cause side effects like diarrhoea, muscle spasm, weight loss, feeling hot even in cool environments, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, and irritability. Consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Your doctor may suggest calcium or vitamin D supplements with Eltroxin 75mcg Tablet to improve bone density associated with thyroid hormone overreplacement. Regular monitoring of thyroid function is important to check the effectiveness of the medicine.
