Novoroid 25 Tablet

Novoroid 25 Tablet is a levothyroxine (thyroxine) tablet used as thyroid hormone replacement. Each Novoroid 25 Tablet contains levothyroxine sodium 25 mcg per tablet, and the product is supplied in a strip/box of 10 bottles. It belongs to the thyroid hormone class and is prescribed to treat hypothyroidism and related conditions where the body does not make enough thyroid hormone. Doctors may also use Novoroid 25 Tablet as part of thyroid cancer management or after thyroid surgery when thyroid hormone replacement is needed.

How it works: Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of the natural thyroid hormone T4, and Novoroid 25 Tablet replaces the hormone your body is missing. As a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed in the digestive tract, then helps normalize metabolism, energy use, heart rate, and body temperature over time.

Novoroid 25 Tablet is a low-strength levothyroxine tablet, which makes it useful when a doctor wants a gentle starting dose or needs small dose adjustments. Compared with higher-strength levothyroxine tablets, the 25 mcg strength is often chosen for people who are sensitive to thyroid hormone, older adults, or those with heart disease who need careful titration.

• Swallow Novoroid 25 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.

• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember the same day; do not double up unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Follow the exact tablet count your doctor prescribed, because levothyroxine doses are individualized.

Novoroid 25 Tablet provides levothyroxine 25 mcg per tablet.
