levothyroxine sodium 75 mcg

Excipients: calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl starch (type A), dextrin, long-chain partial glycerides.

Clinical-pharmacological group: Thyroid hormone preparation Pharmaco-therapeutic group: Thyroid drug

pharmachologic effect

A synthetic preparation of thyroid hormone, a levorotatory isomer of thyroxine. After partial conversion into triiodothyronine (in the liver and kidneys) and passage into the cells of the body, it affects the development and growth of tissues and metabolism.

In small doses it has an anabolic effect on protein and fat metabolism. In medium doses, it stimulates growth and development, increases tissue oxygen demand, stimulates the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and increases the functional activity of the cardiovascular system and central nervous system. In high doses, it inhibits the production of TTRH from the hypothalamus and TSH from the pituitary gland.

The therapeutic effect is observed after 7-12 days, during the same time the effect persists after discontinuation of the drug. The clinical effect for hypothyroidism appears after 3-5 days. Diffuse goiter decreases or disappears within 3-6 months.

Pharmacokinetics

Suction

After oral administration, levothyroxine is absorbed almost exclusively from the upper small intestine. Up to 80% of the dose taken is absorbed. Concomitant food intake reduces the absorption of levothyroxine. Cmax in serum is achieved approximately 5-6 hours after oral administration.

Distribution

Binds to serum proteins (thyroxine-binding globulin, thyroxine-binding prealbumin and albumin) by more than 99%. Approximately 80% of levothyroxine is monodeiodinated in various tissues to form triiodothyronine (T3) and inactive products.

Metabolism

Thyroid hormones are metabolized mainly in the liver, kidneys, brain and muscles. A small amount of the drug undergoes deamination and decarboxylation, as well as conjugation with sulfuric and glucuronic acids (in the liver).

Removal

Metabolites are excreted in urine and bile.

T1/2 is 6-7 days.

Pharmacokinetics in special clinical situations

With thyrotoxicosis, T1/2 is shortened to 3-4 days, and with hypothyroidism it is extended to 9-10 days.

Indications

- hypothyroidism,

- euthyroid goiter,

— as replacement therapy and for the prevention of goiter recurrence after resection of the thyroid gland,

- thyroid cancer (after surgical treatment),

- diffuse toxic goiter: after achieving a euthyroid state with thyreostatics (in the form of combination or monotherapy),

- as a diagnostic tool when performing a thyroid suppression test.

ICD-10 codes

Dosage regimen

The daily dose is determined individually depending on the indications.

L-Thyroxine Berlin-Chemie in a daily dose is taken orally in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before meals, washing down the tablet with a small amount of liquid (half a glass of water) and without chewing.

When carrying out replacement therapy for hypothyroidism, patients under 55 years of age in the absence of cardiovascular diseases L-Thyroxine Berlin-Chemie are prescribed in a daily dose of 1.6-1.8 mcg/kg body weight, patients over 55 years of age or with cardiovascular diseases - 0.9 mcg/kg body weight bodies. In case of significant obesity, the calculation should be made on the “ideal body weight”.

Initial stage of replacement therapy for hypothyroidism

Patients without cardiovascular diseases under 55 years of age Initial dose: women - 50-100 mcg / day, men - 50-150 mcg / day

Patients with cardiovascular diseases or over 55 years of age The initial dose is 25 mcg/day. Increase by 25 mcg at intervals of 2 months until the TSH level in the blood normalizes. If symptoms from the cardiovascular system appear or worsen, adjust the therapy for cardiovascular diseases.

For precise dosing of the drug, the most appropriate dosage of the drug L-Thyroxine Berlin-Chemie should be used (50, 75, 100, 125 or 150 mcg).

In case of severe long-term hypothyroidism, treatment should be started with extreme caution, with small doses - from 25 mcg / day, the dose is increased to maintenance at longer intervals - by 25 mcg / day every 2 weeks and the level of TSH in the blood is determined more often. For hypothyroidism, L-Thyroxine Berlin-Chemie is usually taken throughout life.

For thyrotoxicosis, L-Thyroxine Berlin-Chemie is used in complex therapy with thyreostatics after achieving a euthyroid state. In all cases, the duration of treatment with the drug is determined by the doctor.

For infants and children under 3 years of age, the daily dose of L-Thyroxine Berlin-Chemie is given in one dose 30 minutes before the first feeding. The tablet is dissolved in water to a thin suspension, which is prepared immediately before taking the drug.

Side effect

When using the drug according to indications in recommended doses under the supervision of a physician, no side effects are observed.

If you are hypersensitive to the drug, allergic reactions may occur.

Contraindications for use

- hypersensitivity to the components of the drug,

- untreated thyrotoxicosis,

- acute myocardial infarction, acute myocarditis,

- untreated adrenal insufficiency.

The drug should be prescribed with caution in case of coronary artery disease (atherosclerosis, angina pectoris, history of myocardial infarction), arterial hypertension, arrhythmia, diabetes mellitus, severe long-term hypothyroidism, malabsorption syndrome (dose adjustment may be required).

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

During pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding), therapy with the drug prescribed for hypothyroidism should continue. During 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 when treated with high doses of the drug) is not enough to cause any problems in the child.

The use of the drug in combination with thyreostatic drugs during pregnancy is contraindicated, because Taking levothyroxine may require increasing doses of thyreostatics. Since thyreostatics, unlike levothyroxine, can penetrate the placental barrier, the fetus may develop hypothyroidism.

During breastfeeding, the drug should be taken with caution, strictly in recommended doses under medical supervision.

Use in children

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

For infants and children under 3 years of age, the daily dose of L-Thyroxine Berlin-Chemie is given in one dose 30 minutes before the first feeding. The tablet is dissolved in water to a thin suspension, which is prepared immediately before taking the drug.

Use in elderly patients The drug should be prescribed to elderly patients with extreme caution and under regular medical supervision.

special instructions

In case of hypothyroidism caused by damage to the pituitary gland, it is necessary to find out whether there is simultaneous insufficiency of the adrenal cortex. In this case, replacement therapy with GCS should be started before treatment of hypothyroidism with thyroid hormones is started in order to avoid the development of acute adrenal insufficiency.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery

The drug does not affect the ability to drive vehicles and work requiring increased concentration.

Overdose

Symptoms characteristic of thyrotoxicosis: palpitations, irregular heart rhythm, heart pain, anxiety, tremors, sleep disturbance, increased sweating, loss of appetite, weight loss, diarrhea.

Treatment: a reduction in the daily dose of the drug, a break in treatment for several days, and the appointment of beta-blockers may be recommended. After side effects disappear, treatment should be started with caution at a lower dose. Antithyroid drugs are not recommended.

Drug interactions

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

The use of tricyclic antidepressants with levothyroxine may result in increased antidepressant effects.

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

Levothyroxine reduces the effect of cardiac glycosides. With simultaneous use of cholestyramine, colestipol and aluminum hydroxide, they reduce the plasma concentration of levothyroxine by inhibiting its absorption in the intestine.

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

When used simultaneously with phenytoin, salicylates, clofibrate, furosemide in high doses, the content of levothyroxine and T4 unbound to blood plasma proteins increases.

Somatotropin, when used simultaneously with levothyroxine, can accelerate the closure of epiphyseal growth plates.

Taking phenobarbital, carbamazepine and rifampicin may increase the clearance of levothyroxine and require an increase in dose.

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

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

Storage conditions and periods

The drug should be stored out of the reach of children at a temperature not exceeding 25°C. Shelf life – 2 years.

Conditions for dispensing from pharmacies

The drug is available with a prescription.
