Lethyrox 25 mcg Tablet

Lethyrox 25 mcg Tablet is a thyroid hormone medicine that contains 25 micrograms of thyroxine (levothyroxine) in each tablet. It belongs to the synthetic thyroid hormone class and is used to replace or supplement thyroid hormone when the thyroid does not make enough on its own. Doctors prescribe Lethyrox 25 mcg Tablet to treat hypothyroidism and to help restore normal hormone levels in people who need a low, carefully adjusted dose. It is also used in some patients after thyroid surgery or other thyroid conditions when hormone replacement is needed.

How it works: Levothyroxine in Lethyrox 25 mcg Tablet acts like the natural thyroid hormone thyroxine that your body makes. The tablet helps raise low thyroid hormone levels so the body’s metabolism, energy use, and many organ functions can work more normally.

Lethyrox 25 mcg Tablet is a low-strength levothyroxine tablet, which makes it useful when a doctor wants to start gently or make a small dose adjustment. This strength is often chosen for people who are sensitive to thyroid hormone changes, including older adults, patients with heart disease, or those who need a very precise titration from a lower dose rather than a bigger tablet strength.

• Treatment of hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone replacement after thyroid removal
• Supportive treatment in certain thyroid disorders
• Dose titration when a low starting dose is needed

• Swallow Lethyrox 25 mcg Tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it on an empty stomach, usually 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast.
• Take it at the same time each day for steady thyroid hormone levels.

Each Lethyrox 25 mcg Tablet provides 25 micrograms of levothyroxine. It may be taken once daily, but the exact schedule and total daily dose are decided by the doctor based on age, weight, lab results, and heart health; this strength is often used as a low starting or adjustment dose, not a one-size-fits-all amount. The dose is individualized, and the maximum per day can be much higher in some patients, so never increase or decrease Lethyrox 25 mcg Tablet on your own.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
