Description
Dosage and usage
You should take Eltroxin exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical starting dose for adults with hypothyroidism is usually 50-100 micrograms per day. Your doctor may adjust this dose based on your thyroid hormone levels and how you respond to the medication. It's important to take Eltroxin on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before eating, to ensure proper absorption. Avoid taking it with calcium supplements, antacids, iron supplements, or certain medications that may interfere with its absorption. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
What Eltroxin contains
Each Eltroxin tablet contains levothyroxine sodium as the active ingredient. Inactive ingredients may include lactose, magnesium stearate, maize starch, and other components that help form the tablet. The specific dosage of levothyroxine sodium in each tablet will vary depending on the strength prescribed by your doctor.
Side effects
Common side effects of Eltroxin may include temporary hair loss, changes in appetite, weight changes, and mild headache. However, if you experience symptoms like chest pain, rapid or irregular heartbeat, excessive sweating, or signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, or swelling, seek immediate medical attention. In rare cases, Eltroxin may cause overmedication symptoms like fever, sensitivity to heat, or muscle weakness.
Precautions
Do not take Eltroxin if you have hyperthyroidism or are allergic to any of its ingredients. Inform your doctor about any other medical conditions you have, especially heart problems or adrenal gland issues. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss the risks and benefits of Eltroxin with your healthcare provider. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including supplements, as they may interact with Eltroxin and affect its effectiveness. Regular monitoring of your thyroid hormone levels is important to ensure the correct dosage of Eltroxin for your condition.

An excellent experience.
This was an excellent experience which actually surpassed my expectations.I required a medication fairly urgently and probably just a one off however I will have no hesitation in using the service again if need be.The service was exceptionally good, courteous and helpful. My meds arrived very rapidly and I was able to fully track the delivery progress which was via a well established courier company.Highly recommend.
Quick and straightforward assessment
Quick and straightforward assessment, easy to order, fast delivery service, ability to ask questions via email, regarding the medication you’ve ordered. The only thing I was slightly disappointed with, was when I made my second order on the medication I previously purchased, as the price went up by almost £10.
