Expert advice for Euthyroid Tablet
Your doctor has prescribed Euthyroid to replace the natural thyroid hormone that your own thyroid gland can no longer make. It is best to take Euthyroid on an empty stomach (ideally, first thing in the morning). No food, milk, or tea should be taken 1 hour before and 2 hours after taking this medicine. Though it starts working within 1 to 2 weeks, you may have to wait for 6 to 8 weeks to get the full effect. For most people, Euthyroid is a lifelong medication. Do not discontinue it without first discussing with your doctor. Inform your doctor if you have diarrhoea, nervousness, irritability, feeling of a heartbeat, sleep disturbances, shaking hands, or chest pain. Your doctor may adjust your dose. Leave a gap of at least 4 hours before taking any antacids, calcium or iron supplements, and multivitamins, as these may interfere with the effect of the medicine. Get your thyroid hormone and TSH levels checked regularly. Inform your doctor before changing the brand of Euthyroid as all brands may not have the same effect.
