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

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.
Shelf Life
Euthyrox 25mcg Tablet is generally stable until the expiry date printed on the blister strip or carton when stored correctly. Do not use tablets beyond the printed expiry date.
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.

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

How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Euthyrox 25mcg Tablet be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Euthyrox 25mcg Tablet registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

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.
