What are the symptoms of taking too little of Euthyrox (Levothyroxine)?
Taking too little Euthyrox can cause symptoms such as fatigue, dry skin, reduced sweating, and hoarse voice. Euthyrox is a thyroid hormone medication that requires a doctor's guidance for use as it is a prescription drug. Taking too much or too little can have an impact on the body, and before use, it is necessary to exclude conditions such as coronary artery insufficiency, angina pectoris, arteriosclerosis, and hypertension.
Euthyrox is levothyroxine tablets, which are substitutes for thyroxine. If taken in insufficient quantities, it will manifest as symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as lethargy, cold hands and feet, dry and rough skin, anhidrosis, hoarse voice, brittle and easily falling hair, anemia, excessive menstruation or amenorrhea, and possibly forgetfulness and mental confusion.
If Euthyrox is supplemented excessively, it may lead to symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as accelerated heartbeat, palpitations, excessive sweating, insomnia, and irritability. Therefore, when taking Euthyrox, it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions in the endocrinology department based on your symptoms and laboratory tests for scientific and standardized medication to avoid overdosing and affecting the treatment of the disease.
