Nepeta 50 Tablet

Nepeta 50 Tablet is a levothyroxine sodium tablet, with each tablet labeled as 50 mcg of thyroxine/levothyroxine. It belongs to the thyroid hormone replacement class and is used to treat hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid. Nepeta 50 Tablet may also be prescribed to help suppress thyroid-stimulating hormone in certain thyroid disorders, as directed by a clinician. This specific strength is a prescription thyroid medicine from Advance Revive and should be taken exactly as prescribed.

How it works: Levothyroxine in Nepeta 50 Tablet replaces or supplements the natural thyroid hormone your body is not making enough of. The tablet raises thyroid hormone levels in the blood so metabolism, energy use, and many body functions can move toward normal.

Nepeta 50 Tablet is the 50 mcg strength, which is a lower tablet strength than Nepeta 100 Tablet and is often chosen when a doctor wants a more gradual dose adjustment. It may suit people who are newly starting levothyroxine, those who need a smaller maintenance dose, or patients whose dose is being fine-tuned based on thyroid lab results and symptoms. Because levothyroxine needs are individualized, this strength can help reduce the risk of overtreatment while allowing careful titration.

• Treatment of hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone replacement therapy
• TSH suppression in selected thyroid conditions
• Long-term management of low thyroid hormone levels

• Swallow Nepeta 50 Tablet whole with a full glass of water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it on an empty stomach, usually 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, because food can reduce absorption.
• Take it at the same time every day to keep thyroid levels steady.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless a healthcare professional specifically tells you to.
• Separate it from iron, calcium, antacids, bile acid binders, or multivitamins by several hours, because they can block absorption.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up without medical advice.

Nepeta 50 Tablet provides 50 mcg of levothyroxine per tablet. It is usually taken once daily, but the exact schedule and any dose changes are decided by the prescriber based on age, weight, thyroid labs, heart health, and response to treatment. There is no single maximum daily dose for everyone, because the dose is individualized and may be adjusted gradually; follow your doctor’s instructions rather than changing the strength on your own.

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