Thyroactiv 50mcg Tablet Health Feed

Hello, Thanks for the query.
There are a number of Levothyroxine brands like Thyronorm, Euthyroid, Etroxin and many more. You can ask the chemist for one of the most consistently available brand in your area. Then stick to it. All are similar. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Both the brands contain levothyroxine, so using any one of them is fine. However, what is important is to continue using the same brand as your body is used to it. Please also check the tsh levels, because maintaining tsh around 3 to 4 mu/l is essential to remain free from symptoms. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Yes a person with hypothyroidism can use sucral syrup, however, ti should be used at least 2 to 3 hours after taking the thyroxine tablet as it can affect the absorption of levothyroxine. Thanks.

Mr Kapil, Thanks for the query.
Dosage of levothyroxine depends on persons body weight, TSH & T4 levels. Since there is no mention about TSH and T4 levels, it is difficult to give any opinion. Hypothyroidism is thyroxine hormone deficiency disorder. This hormone is required every day in the body for almost every single metabolic function, hence needs to be supplemented daily for lifetime. Thanks

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
WHen one is on treatment with adequate dose of Levothyroxine, TSH is maintained around 3 to 4mU/L. At that level all the symptoms are in check. If TSH level goes higher (as in your case), it suggests that your thyroxine dose is not enough. Therefore, your doctor has suggested the additional dose of the same. Please check tSH level after 6 to 8 weeks of taking that doe, to find out if TSH has come down as mentioned above. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, WHen on treatment for hypothyroidism, for getting complete relief from all he symptoms TSH should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L. Therefore, q value of 9.6 m U /L is very high. There is need to increase the dose of thyroxine. Thanks.

There are no side effects provided your TSH is kept in the normal range (0.4-4.5 mU/L). Hence keep monitoring your TSH regularly as suggested by your endocrinologist.

Both are same, you can use either of the two

Hello, Thanks for the query.
TSH 11.3 mU/L is too high. When one is on treatment with adequate dosage of levothyroxine, TSH should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L. Then all the symptoms related to hypothyroidism are in complete check. So you will have to increase the dosage by 12.5 mcg to (50 + 12.5 = 62.5 mcg) to 62.5 mcg per day. Plus I am sure you are aware that thyroxine tablets have to be taken on empty stomach early morning and then nothing should be taken for at least 1 to 1.and half...more
