Overview

Euthyrox 25mcg Tablet contains Levothyroxine Sodium 25mcg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in pack sizes of 100s and 25s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Euthyrox 25mcg Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed, typically once daily in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before breakfast or other medicines, and swallowed whole with a full glass of water. Because this is often a starting or titration dose, patients should not adjust the dose themselves even if they feel no immediate difference, since thyroid hormone levels take weeks to stabilise and dose changes are guided by blood test results.

Dosage

The 25mcg strength is typically used as an initial or low starting dose, particularly in elderly patients or those with cardiac risk factors, and the doctor will usually plan to reassess thyroid function tests after several weeks before deciding whether to increase the dose in small steps. The exact dose and any planned increases are individualised by the prescribing doctor and should never be changed without medical review of blood test results.

Storage Instructions

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture, and keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until needed. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Headache
  • Nervousness or anxiety
  • Sleeplessness (insomnia)
  • Increased appetite
  • Weight loss
  • Sweating
  • Palpitations or rapid heartbeat
  • Menstrual irregularities

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to levothyroxine or any excipient in the tablet
  • Untreated adrenal insufficiency or untreated pituitary insufficiency, unless managed concurrently
  • Untreated overactive thyroid (thyrotoxicosis)
  • Acute heart attack, acute inflammation of the heart muscle, or acute inflammation of all layers of the heart, unless specifically directed by a cardiologist
  • Not to be self-initiated without a doctor’s prescription and monitoring plan

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Calcium supplements, iron supplements, and antacids containing aluminium or magnesium — these can reduce levothyroxine absorption if taken too close together; space doses by at least 4 hours
  • Proton pump inhibitors and certain cholesterol-lowering resins, which may also reduce absorption
  • Oral anticoagulants (blood thinners) — levothyroxine may enhance their effect, requiring closer monitoring
  • Oestrogen-containing medicines, which can affect thyroid hormone binding and dose requirements
  • Food, particularly high-fibre meals or soy products taken too close to the dose, which may reduce absorption

Quick Tips

  • Take Euthyrox 25mcg Tablet at the same time each morning, on an empty stomach, for consistent absorption
  • Keep to your scheduled blood test appointments, as dose adjustments are based on these results, not on symptoms alone
  • Do not switch between different levothyroxine brands or strengths without your doctor’s knowledge
  • Report new chest pain, palpitations, or unusual anxiety promptly, especially if you have a heart condition
  • Be patient — this low starting dose is often just the first step in a gradual titration plan

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

  • Levothyroxine Sodium 25mcg (active ingredient)
  • Microcrystalline cellulose and other standard tablet excipients
  • Citric acid as a stabiliser, as used in the branded formulation
  • Colouring agents specific to the 25mcg tablet strength for easy identification

Relevant Information

Because Euthyrox 25mcg Tablet is frequently used as a cautious starting point rather than a final maintenance dose, patients should expect their doctor to review thyroid function tests periodically and adjust the dose upward in small increments if needed. This gradual approach is particularly important in older adults and those with pre-existing heart disease, where a too-rapid increase in thyroid hormone can place extra strain on the heart.
