• Keep away from children and pets.

• Take Thyronorm 150mcg Tablet on an empty stomach with plain water, thirty to sixty minutes before breakfast, every morning.
• Wait at least thirty to sixty minutes before your morning tea or coffee, which reduce absorption.
• Leave a gap of at least four hours from calcium tablets, iron tablets, antacids and multivitamins.
• Keep soy products and high-fibre supplements well away from your dose, and keep your intake consistent.
• Stay on the same brand of levothyroxine, and recheck your levels if a switch is unavoidable.
• This is usually lifelong treatment; normal reports mean the dose is right, not that you can stop.
• Report palpitations, tremor, excessive sweating, anxiety or unintended weight loss, which suggest too high a dose.
• Never use this medicine for weight loss; excess thyroid hormone thins bone and disturbs heart rhythm.
• Tell your doctor as soon as you become pregnant, as your dose will usually need increasing.
• Have your thyroid function checked as advised, usually six to eight weeks after any dose change.
• Store the bottle tightly closed away from humidity, and not in the bathroom.

Interactions with other medicines

• Certain medicines can affect the way Thyronorm 150mcg tablet works or this medicine itself can affect the action of other medicines taken at the same time.
• Always inform your doctor about any other medicines, herbals or supplements that you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.
• In particular, if you are taking certain medications like antipsychotic medicines, anti-epileptic medicines like phenytoin oral contraceptives, etc.
• Dose adjustment of anti-diabetic medicines, blood thinners and medicines used for treating heart failure is required on the simultaneous use of Thyronorm 150mcg tablet. Inform your doctor if you are taking any medicines from this class.
• Antacids, anti-ulcer medicines, iron preparations and other preparations used to reduce cholesterol levels such as cholestyramine should be used with a minimum gap of 4 - 5 hours with Thyronorm 150mcg tablet.

Interactions with food items

• Take Thyronorm 150mcg Tablet on an empty stomach with plain water, at least thirty to sixty minutes before eating. Food of any kind reduces absorption, and inconsistent timing is one of the commonest reasons thyroid tests stay abnormal.
• Coffee is a specific problem. Taken close to the dose it measurably reduces absorption, so wait at least thirty to sixty minutes. The same applies to tea and to milk.
• Soy products, including soy milk, tofu and soy protein supplements, interfere with absorption. They need not be avoided, but keep intake consistent and well separated from your dose.
• High-fibre foods and fibre supplements, and walnuts, also reduce absorption when taken at the same time. Separate them from the tablet.
• Calcium and iron, whether as supplements or as fortified foods and drinks, must be at least four hours away from your dose.
• Iodine is needed for thyroid hormone production, so use iodised salt in normal amounts, but avoid large iodine or kelp supplements, which can disturb thyroid function.
