L-thyroxin - instructions for use, reviews, analogs and formulations (tablets 50 μg, 75 μg, 100 μg and 150 μg) of the synthetic thyroid hormone drug for the treatment of hypothyroidism and goitre in adults, children and in pregnancy

L-thyroxin - instructions for use, reviews, analogs and formulations (tablets 50 μg, 75 μg, 100 μg and 150 μg) of the synthetic thyroid hormone drug for the treatment of hypothyroidism and goitre in adults, children and in pregnancy

In this article, you can read the instructions for using the drug L-thyroxine. Presented are reviews of visitors to the site - consumers of this medication, as well as opinions of doctors of specialists on the use of L-thyroxine in their practice. A big request is to actively add their feedback on the drug: the medicine helped or did not help get rid of the disease, which were observed complications and side effects, possibly not declared by the manufacturer in the annotation. Analogues of L-thyroxine in the presence of existing structural analogues.Use for the treatment of hypothyroidism and goiter in adults, children, as well as during pregnancy and lactation. Composition of the preparation.

 

L-thyroxine - synthetic drug of the thyroid hormone, levorotatory isomer of thyroxine. After partial conversion into triiodothyronine (in the liver and kidneys) and transition into the cells of the body, it affects the development and growth of tissues, metabolism.

 

In small doses, it has an anabolic effect on protein and fat metabolism. In medium doses stimulates growth and development, raises the need for tissues in oxygen, stimulates the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, increases the functional activity of the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. In high doses inhibits the production of TTRG of the hypothalamus and TTG of the pituitary gland.

 

Therapeutic effect is observed after 7-12 days, during the same time the action remains after drug discontinuation. The clinical effect with hypothyroidism manifests itself in 3-5 days. Diffuse goiter decreases or disappears within 3-6 months.

 

Composition

 

Levotiroksin sodium + auxiliary substances.

 

Pharmacokinetics

 

After ingestion, L-thyroxine is absorbed almost exclusively from the upper part of the small intestine. Absorbs up to 80% of the dose.Simultaneous food intake reduces the absorption of levothyroxine. It binds to serum proteins (thyroxin-binding globulin, thyroxin-binding prealbumin and albumin) by more than 99%. In different tissues, approximately 80% of levothyroxine is monodegraded to form triiodothyronine (T3) and inactive products. Thyroid hormones are metabolized mainly in the liver, kidneys, brain and muscles. A small amount of the drug is subjected to deamination and decarboxylation, as well as conjugation with sulfuric and glucuronic acids (in the liver). Metabolites are excreted in the urine and with bile.

 

Indications

  • hypothyroidism;
  • euthyroid goiter;
  • as a replacement therapy and for the prevention of recurrence of goiter after resection of the thyroid gland;
  • thyroid cancer (after surgical treatment);
  • diffuse toxic goiter: after reaching the euthyroid status with thyreostatics (in the form of combined or monotherapy);
  • as a diagnostic tool in the test of thyroid suppression.

 

Forms of release

 

Tablets 50 μg, 75 μg, 100 μg and 150 μg.

 

Instructions for use and dosage

 

The daily dose is determined individually depending on the indications.

 

L-thyroxine in a daily dose is taken orally in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before a meal, with a small amount of liquid (half a cup of water) and without chewing.

 

When performing substitution therapy for hypothyroidism, patients under the age of 55 without cardiovascular disease are prescribed a daily dose of 1.6-1.8 μg / kg of body weight; patients older than 55 years or with cardiovascular disease - 0.9 mcg / kg body weight. With significant obesity, the calculation should be made on "ideal body mass".

 

Recommended doses of thyroxine for the treatment of congenital hypothyroidism:

  • 0-6 months - daily dose of 25-50 μg;
  • 6-24 months - daily dose of 50-75 mcg;
  • from 2 to 10 years - a daily dose of 75-125 mcg;
  • from 10 to 16 years - a daily dose of 100-200 mcg;
  • over 16 years - a daily dose of 100-200 mcg.

 

Recommended doses of L-thyroxine:

  1. Treatment of euthyroid goiter - 75-200 mcg per day;
  2. Preventive maintenance of relapse after surgical treatment of euthyroid goiter - 75-200 mkg per day;
  3. In the complex therapy of thyrotoxicosis - 50-100 mcg per day;
  4. Suppressive thyroid cancer is 150-300 mcg per day.

 

For the exact dosing of the drug, the most appropriate dosage of the L-thyroxine preparation (50, 75, 100, 125 or 150 μg) should be used.

 

In severe long-term hypothyroidism, treatment should be started with extreme caution, from small doses from 25 μg per day, the dose is increased to maintenance at longer intervals - by 25 μg per day every 2 weeks and more often the level of TSH in the blood is determined. With hypothyroidism, L-thyroxine is taken, as a rule, throughout life.

 

In thyrotoxicosis, L-thyroxine is used in complex therapy with thyreostatics after reaching the euthyroid state. In all cases, the duration of treatment with the drug is determined by the doctor.

 

Breast children and children under 3 years of age, the daily dose of the drug L-thyroxin is given at one time 30 minutes before the first feeding. The tablet is dissolved in water to a fine suspension, which is prepared immediately before taking the drug.

 

Side effect

  • allergic reactions.

 

Contraindications

  • untreated thyrotoxicosis;
  • acute myocardial infarction, acute myocarditis;
  • untreated insufficiency of adrenal function;
  • increased individual sensitivity to the components of the drug.

 

Application in pregnancy and lactation

 

During pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding), therapy with a drug prescribed for hypothyroidism should continue.In pregnancy, an increase in the dose of the drug is required due to an increase in the level of thyroxine-binding globulin. The amount of thyroid hormone, secreted in breast milk during lactation (even during treatment with high doses of the drug), not enough to cause any disturbances in the child.

 

The use of the drug in combination with thyreostatic drugs in pregnancy is contraindicated, because taking levothyroxine may require an increase in thyroid doses. Since thyreostatics, in contrast to levothyroxine, can penetrate the placental barrier, the fetus may develop hypothyroidism.

 

During breastfeeding, the drug should be taken with caution, strictly at recommended doses under the supervision of a doctor.

 

Use in children

 

In children, the initial daily dose is 12.5-50 μg. With a long course of treatment, the dose of the drug is determined from an approximate calculation of 100-150 μg / m2 of body surface area.

 

special instructions

 

When hypothyroidism, due to the pituitary lesion, it is necessary to find out whether there is a simultaneous insufficiency of the adrenal cortex.In this case, glucocorticosteroid replacement therapy (GCS) should be started before the beginning of hypothyroidism treatment with thyroid hormones in order to avoid the development of acute adrenal insufficiency.

 

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

 

The drug does not affect the ability to professional activities associated with driving vehicles and controlling mechanisms.

 

Drug Interactions

 

L-thyroxin enhances the effect of indirect anticoagulants, which may require a reduction in their dose.

 

The use of tricyclic antidepressants with levothyroxine may lead to an increase in the action of antidepressants.

 

Thyroid hormones can increase the need for insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs. More frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels is recommended during the start of treatment with levothyroxine, as well as when changing the dose of the drug.

 

Levothyroxine reduces the action of cardiac glycosides. With simultaneous application of colestramine, colestipol and aluminum hydroxide reduce the plasma concentration of levothyroxine due to inhibition of its absorption in the intestine.

 

When used simultaneously with anabolic steroids, asparaginase, tamoxifen, pharmacokinetic interaction at the level of binding to the protein is possible.

 

In an application with phenytoin, salicylates, clofibrate, Furosemide in high doses increases the content of unbound with plasma proteins levothyroxine and T4.

 

Somatotropin with simultaneous application with L-thyroxine can accelerate the closure of epiphyseal growth zones.

 

The intake of phenobarbital, Carbamazepine and rifampicin may increase the clearance of levothyroxine and require an increase in the dose.

 

Estrogens increase the concentration of thyreoglobulin-associated fraction, which may lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the drug.

 

Amiodarone, aminoglutethimide, PASK, ethionamide, antithyroid drugs, beta-blockers, carbamazepine, chloral hydrate, diazepam, levodopa, dopamine, metoclopramide, lovastatin, somatostatin affect the synthesis, secretion, distribution and metabolism of the drug.

Hello! At me AIT and a hormone TTG-4,25, to me have appointed or nominated a l-thyroxine of 25 mkg a day, but I still accept Symbicort 160 / 4,5- 2 times a day. Is it possible to combine these drugs? Thanks for the answer.

Galina, You can combine, because the choice is not rich under the replacement. But it is necessary to monitor the heart, because Symbicort against the background of L-thyroxine can reduce the tolerance of the heart muscle to adrenomimetics. The usual annual examination plus constant monitoring on your part for the state of the cardiovascular system.

Zinaida, Most likely to you it is appointed or nominated 12,5 mkg L L the Thyroxine (25 mkg in half). I do not advise taking 50 mg, since in half these tablets are well divided, but it is impossible to divide them correctly into 4 parts and you will have errors in the dosage of this medication, which is a negative moment for endocrinological preparations. So look for the recommended dosage, there is no choice.

Tatyana, Siofor with hormones of the thyroid gland and their analogues (which is L Thyroxin) can be taken. Nausea is also possible as a side effect of taking one of these drugs. If this side effect causes you severe inconvenience, it is worthwhile to contact the attending physician or the endocrinologist better to change the treatment regimen and / or dosages of these medications.

Good afternoon. My daughter was prescribed l-thyroxine. She is 10 years old, hormones are normal, sugar is elevated - 6, she often sweats and sweats, a slight excess in weight. Very active.

great, L thyroxine is prescribed most often in hypothyroidism. This diagnosis is based on the results of tests of thyroid hormones. If the tests are really normal (there could be borderline norms, then you need to think long, given the age of the child), it is better to contact another endocrinologist for a consultation. Perhaps it makes sense to retake the tests for hormones elsewhere. According to statistics, this disease occurs at an early age, mostly in women, so I will not say that this is complete nonsense and nothing needs to be done, it will pass itself, and sugar is increased.

A daughter with seven years of age takes thyroxine in different doses as prescribed by the doctor. Now she takes the drug for 21 years as before under the supervision of a doctor, but began to lose weight sharply. Maybe the drug is to blame?
Administrators
admin
Popernyak Oksana, Admission of thyroid hormones should take place under periodic monitoring of the level of hormones (once every six months it is enough to take it, if it's okay to donate blood to hormones once a year). If your daughter has a hormonal background, everything is in order, then the reason for losing weight in something else, and not in taking the drug is L-thyroxine. If the hormones of the thyroid gland have deviations, then you need to adjust the dosage of the drug taken.

To me have appointed or nominated a hormone of a thyroid gland, before it or him accepted antidepressants amitriptyline, I can not throw, but I feel very badly in a breast in a loin and in a nape all is compressed. I have osteochondrosis, tell me. How to improve the condition?
Administrators

bag15, Understand consistently with all the problems that exist. The first is to pass the hormones of the thyroid gland to understand how hormones your current hypothyroidism compensates. The second is to evaluate the use of antidepressants, whether they could cause similar side effects (whether earlier, for how long, whether there is an effect of accumulation or cancellation). The third - with the neurologist to understand with an osteochondrosis,because such symptoms can be a consequence of this condition and pain from the spine is projected into the nape of the neck and chest, simulating cardiac symptoms. The fourth is to check the cardiovascular system. Online you do not understand your symptoms properly and do not solve the problem, contact your doctor.

Administrators

Tanya, Thyroid hormones are selected based on the results of tests, that is, now you are taking 50 μg of L-thyroxine, and after 6 months you take a second test and depending on the levels of TTG, the dose of the hormone will change.

To clarify the diagnosis, it is also necessary to check the pituitary gland and other brain tumors, make an ultrasound of the thyroid gland and pass an analysis on the markers of autoimmune thyroid inflammation in order to understand autoimmune thyroiditis in you or something else and then calmly proceed to treatment.

Hello! And if they prescribed a thyroxine and a syophore 4 years ago, now you can drink them without taking the tests?
Administrators
admin
Ksyusha, No. Because the doses of drugs are selected based on the thyroid hormone analysis (for L thyroxine) and the balance of sugars in the body (for Siofor). In general, these medicines are taken for a long time, in most cases, for life, so it's unclear who you could appoint them with a 4-year break. Address to the endocrinologist for consultation and delivery of the put analyzes.

inna29115, For L of thyroxine, a similar side effect is not typical, but thyroid hormones affect the metabolism of sex hormones, so this side effect can be observed with fluctuations in sex hormone levels in the blood, as secondary changes in the administration of thyroxine.To establish or disprove this fact it is possible by addressing to the endocrinologist and delivery of necessary analyzes as there can and cyclic changes influence, everyone happens.

Hello, help clarify my question. Has handed over analyzes, TTG-12, 3 and 4 in norm or rate, the doctor diagnoses a thyrotoxicosis, is appointed or nominated L-thyroxine on 0,25 two weeks, then on 0,5 two weeks and on the control TTG after that. Read, that diagnose a thyrotoxicosis at lowered TTG. Please clarify. Thank you.
Administrators
admin
Marina Sh.Of course, thyrotoxicosis does not use thyroid hormones, the synthetic analogue of which is the drug L-thyroxine. Elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone or TSH may indicate the development of hypothyroidism and in this case the reception of thyroxine is indicated. Further diagnosis of thyroid status is required.

Ljaljaka
Hello. Since October I accept l-thyroxine 50. Before application of 4 4 was 2.4, and TTG max.After 2.5 months I resumed the tests, the result of T4 was 9.4, and TTG was still max. The doctor increased the dose now I take 75. On the 5th day of taking an increased dose, nausea, weakness, swaying in the transport, headaches, and periodically "lit" the face began to appear. Could this be related to the drug or other causes? If it is connected, then how best to proceed.
Administrators

Ljaljaka, The thyroxine in a dosage of 75 mkg does not exist, or one and a half tablets accept, or other agent use - usually it Eutiroks. If they changed the drug, even if they are similar, maybe something did not go into the new medicine, if not, then maybe the reason is in something else, because the reactions you indicated for synthetic thyroid hormones are uncharacteristic, the more they showed up at the 5- th day of use (allergic reactions develop immediately). As an experiment, you can return to the dosage of L-thyroxin 50 mcg and see what will happen to the negative effects, if passed - there is an occasion to contact the endocrinologist to adjust the therapy scheme and reduce the dose of hormones taken.

elmira806, On the first question - the reception of L-thyroxine after meals will not give anything in terms of compensation for the fallen function of the thyroid hormones. I can recommend to try Eutiroks as an adequate substitute for thyroxine.

On the second question - sometimes with hypothyroidism, hair loss can occur, which is often a consequence of the violation of trace element composition in the body, so it would be good to use vitamin-mineral complexes, simultaneously containing selenium, iron, simultaneously with the intake of synthetic thyroid hormones.

Kirina, What analyzes in norm or rate? If these are two kutsyh indicators, what they do in state hospitals, then it will not become clearer in this matter. It is necessary to take an extended panel of thyroid tests, including antibodies to TPO, on ultrasound to look at the extent of the autoimmune process in the gland tissues (professionals of ultrasound know how to look at this). If the autoimmune process progresses, hormone intake is indicated, otherwise stable observation of hormone levels in the blood can be seen without medication.

Administrators
admin
tatiaka, Specific therapy of autoimmune thyroiditis does not currently exist.It is only possible to correct the level of hormones that decrease because of the decrease in hormone-producing cells of the thyroid gland as a result of their attack by the patient's own antibodies. Indirectly, the degree of activity of the autoimmune process can show an assay for antibodies to thyroid peroxidase (A-TPO) and thyroglobulin, which were not assigned to you. If you take L thyroxine for two months, you can re-take tests for TSH and A-TPO and antibodies to thyroglobulin so that the result of the tests can correct the dose of the hormone taken. Most likely it is necessary to lower a dosage of a thyroxine (I judge by the description of your problems, but this is only an assumption). Periodic monitoring of the level of hormones in the blood should be carried out in the future (I recommend at least twice a year) with the appropriate adjustment of the hormones taken.
