Thyrocare 100 mcg Tablet

Thyrocare 100 mcg Tablet is a prescription levothyroxine tablet made by Olcare Laboratories. Each tablet contains 100 mcg of thyroxine (levothyroxine), a synthetic thyroid hormone used to replace or supplement low thyroid hormone levels. It belongs to the thyroid hormone class and is used to treat hypothyroidism, certain goiter-related conditions, and to help control thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) when prescribed by a clinician. Thyrocare 100 mcg Tablet is intended for patients whose thyroid hormone needs have been assessed and who require this specific tablet strength.

How it works: Levothyroxine in Thyrocare 100 mcg Tablet acts like the natural thyroid hormone your body makes. The tablet replaces missing hormone, helping normalize metabolism, energy, temperature control, and many body functions over time.

Thyrocare 100 mcg Tablet is a higher-strength levothyroxine tablet, so it is usually chosen after a doctor has reviewed thyroid labs, symptoms, age, heart health, and prior response to lower doses. It is not the usual starting strength for many new patients, but it can be appropriate when a full 100 mcg daily replacement dose is needed or when dose titration has reached this level. Because this strength delivers more hormone per tablet, it can raise thyroid levels more quickly if the dose is too high, so it should be used exactly as prescribed.

• Hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone replacement
• TSH suppression in selected patients
• Goiter management when prescribed
• Post-thyroid surgery hormone replacement

• Take Thyrocare 100 mcg Tablet exactly as prescribed, usually once daily.
• Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Take it on an empty stomach, ideally 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast.
• Keep it away from calcium, iron, antacids, and multivitamins by several hours.
• Try to take it at the same time every day for steady thyroid levels.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions; do not double up unless told to do so.

Each Thyrocare 100 mcg Tablet provides 100 mcg of levothyroxine per tablet. It is typically taken once daily, but the exact schedule and total daily dose are decided by the prescriber based on thyroid tests and your health status. Do not take more than the prescribed daily amount, because even this single 100 mcg strength can be too much for some patients.

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

• Separate this tablet from calcium, iron, fiber supplements, bile acid binders, and antacids to avoid reduced absorption.
