Switch language Iconবাংলা

Introduction

T4 25 is a medicine used to treat an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). It replaces the hormone which was not being produced by your thyroid gland in sufficient quantity and helps regulate your body’s energy and metabolism. Before you start taking T4 25, your doctor will do a blood test to see what dose you need. Once you start taking the medicine, you will have regular blood tests to see how well it is working, and the dose may be adjusted from time to time. Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. It is best taken on an empty stomach before your first meal of the day. You should take this medicine regularly to get the maximum benefit. It may take several weeks before your symptoms start to improve. Keep using this medicine even if you feel well. You may need to take it for the rest of your life. If you stop taking it, your symptoms are likely to come back. The most common side effects of this medicine are caused by taking a bigger dose than you need. Possible side effects include palpitations (irregular heart beat), vomiting, anxiety, diarrhea, weight loss, nervousness or restlessness. Most side effects will disappear once you are on the right dose. Some people may suffer a severe reaction to high levels of thyroid hormone. Call your doctor straight away if you have a very high temperature, fast or irregular heart rate, low blood pressure, yellowness in eye/skin, confusion or fits. T4 25 may cause weight loss but should not be prescribed or taken to treat obesity. If you become pregnant while taking this medicine, inform your doctor right away as the dose may have to be increased/readjusted. Many other drugs affect the way this medicine works. Ask your doctor for advice if you are taking any other medications.

Quick Tips

  • It may take 6 to 8 weeks to get the full effect.
  • For most people, T4 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.
  • Get your hormone levels checked regularly and inform your doctor if you notice a significant change in your body weight. The dose may need to be adjusted.
  • Inform your doctor before changing the brand of T4 25 as all brands may not have the same effect.

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

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.
