Product Description
Euthyrox 50mcg Tablets 100 Tablets is a high-quality, lactose-free levothyroxine sodium preparation from Merck, designed to restore normal thyroid hormone levels in primary (thyroidal), secondary (pituitary), or tertiary (hypothalamic) hypothyroidism, and to suppress TSH in thyroid cancer or goitre management. The 50µg strength allows precise dose titration. Identical bioavailability to other major brands; narrow therapeutic index requires consistent daily timing and brand stability. Rapidly absorbed (60–80% on empty stomach); half-life ≈7 days. Lactose-free formulation ideal for lactose-intolerant patients.
