WHAT IS THE MEDICINE INTENDED FOR
Euthyrox, in various dosages, is used to treat the following
conditions:
•
benign enlargement of the thyroid gland (benign goitre - swelling of
the neck due to
enlargement of the thyroid gland) in patients with normal thyroid
function
•
prevention of recurrence of goitre after surgery
•
as a substitute for the natural hormone produced by the thyroid gland,
if your thyroid
gland does not produce enough thyroxine
•
suppression of tumor regrowth in patients with thyroid cancer
•
to
balance
the
levels
of
the
hormone
produced
by
the
thyroid
gland,
when
hyperthyroidism is treated with medicines that inhibit thyroid gland
activity
At a dosage of 100 mcg and above, Euthyrox is used to test thyroid
function.
Therapeutic group: Thyroid gland hormone.
Levothyroxine, the active substance in Euthyrox, is a synthetic
substitute for the natural
hormone produced by the thyroid gland and is used to treat diseases or
dysfunction of the
thyroid gland. Levothyroxine has the same activity as the natural
hormone produced by the
thyroid gland.

Posology and method of administration
Posology
2
The dosage recommendations given are only for guidance.
The individual daily dose should be determined on the basis of
laboratory tests and clinical examinations.
As a number of patients show elevated concentrations of T
4
and fT
4,

stimulating hormone provides a more reliable basis for following
treatment course.
Thyroid hormone therapy should be started at low dose and increased
gradually every 2 to 4 weeks until
the full replacement dose is reached.
_Paediatric population _
For neonates and infants with congenital hypothyroidism, where rapid
replacement is important, the initial
recommended dosage is 10 to 15 micrograms per kg BW per day for the
first 3 months. Thereafter, the
dose should be ad
