- It may take 6 to 8 weeks to get the full effect.
- For most people, Thyrin 25 can be a lifelong medication. Do not discontinue it without discussing your doctor.
- Inform your doctor if you have diarrhea, nervousness, irritability, sleep disturbances, shaking hands, or chest pain. Your doctor may adjust your dose.
- Leave a gap of at least 4 hours before taking any antacids, calcium or iron supplements, and multivitamins, as these may interfere with the effect of the medicine.

Mode of Action
Levothyroxine Na is a synthetic form of thyroxine which increases the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the utilisation and mobilisation of glycogen stores and stimulates protein synthesis. It is also involved in normal metabolism, growth and development. These effects are mediated at the cellular level by the thyroxine metabolite, tri-iodothyronine.
Precaution
Patients w/ CV (e.g. angina, heart failure, HTN), DM and diabetes insipidus, epilepsy, pre-existing myasthenia syndrome, long-standing hypothyroidism. Elderly, pregnancy and lactation. Monitoring Parameters Monitor thyroid function test, clinical signs of hypo- and hyperthyroidism, heart rate and BP.
Lactation: Enters breast milk; use caution
Side Effect
Nervousness, excitability, tremor, muscle weakness, fatigue, cramps; sweating, flushing, heat intolerance, headache, fever, insomnia, tachycardia, palpitations, restlessness, anginal pain, HTN, severe depression, difficulty in sleeping, excessive wt loss; menstrual irregularities; diarrhoea, vomiting, psychosis or agitation. Increased bone resorption and reduced bone mineral density, especially in post-menopausal women; elevated LFT.
Potentially Fatal: Thyrotoxic crisis including convulsions, cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, coma.
Interaction
Reduced absorption w/ iron, antacids, bile acid sequestrants, colestyramine, simeticone, Ca carbonate, sucralfate, cation exchange resins. Reduced tri-iodothyronine serum levels w/ amiodarone and propranolol. Reduced serum levels of thyroxine w/ carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, rifampicin, lithium, oestrogens, sertraline. Androgens may decrease levothyroxine-binding globulins serum levels. May alter requirements of antidiabetic drugs. Increased risk of significant HTN and tachycardia w/ ketamine. Increased metabolic demands w/ sympathomimetics (e.g. epinephrine). May increase anticoagulant effect of warfarin.
