Beschrijving
Euthyrox is a synthetic form of levothyroxine, a hormone identical to the natural thyroxine produced by the thyroid gland. It is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid is underactive and fails to produce enough hormone. Thyroxine is essential for regulating the body’s metabolism, energy levels, temperature control, and many other key functions.
When the thyroid does not produce enough hormone, symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, depression, and cold intolerance may develop. Euthyrox helps restore hormone levels to normal, allowing the body’s systems to function properly again. By correcting the hormone imbalance, it can improve energy, concentration, mood, and metabolic stability.
Euthyrox is taken once daily, ideally in the morning, on an empty stomach at least 30–60 minutes before eating or drinking anything except water. It is absorbed through the digestive tract and distributed throughout the body to exert its effects.
Most people start to notice an improvement in symptoms within one to two weeks of starting treatment, although it may take longer for full effects. Since hypothyroidism is often a lifelong condition, Euthyrox is usually taken as a long-term daily medication.
It is generally well tolerated when taken at the correct dose. Side effects may occur if the dose is too high and can include symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as restlessness, sweating, palpitations, or sleep difficulties. Euthyrox is contraindicated in patients with untreated adrenal insufficiency, acute thyrotoxicosis, or known hypersensitivity to levothyroxine or any excipient in the formulation.
Algemene informatie
Euthyrox is a synthetic version of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4), used to treat underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
It is used to replace or supplement thyroid hormone levels in individuals with hypothyroidism, supporting metabolism and overall health.
It mimics natural thyroxine, helping to regulate energy production, metabolism, temperature, and other hormone-controlled processes.
The dose varies based on individual needs and is adjusted according to blood test results. It is taken once daily.
Initial improvement often begins within 1–2 weeks, but full therapeutic effects may take 4–6 weeks of consistent use.
Take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it's close to your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your schedule.
