Thyrofit 150 Tablet

Thyrofit 150 Tablet is a prescription levothyroxine tablet containing 150 micrograms of thyroxine in each tablet, supplied by Eris Lifesciences. It belongs to the thyroid hormone replacement class and is used to treat hypothyroidism, including low thyroid hormone levels after thyroid surgery or in other cases where the body does not make enough thyroid hormone. Because Thyrofit 150 Tablet is a relatively high-strength tablet, it is typically used for patients whose dose has already been determined by a clinician.

How it works: Levothyroxine in Thyrofit 150 Tablet acts like the natural thyroid hormone your body normally makes, helping control energy use, heart rate, and body temperature. The tablet dissolves after swallowing, and the hormone is then absorbed and used by the body to replace missing thyroid hormone.

Thyrofit 150 Tablet is not a starting strength for most people; it is a higher-dose tablet used when a doctor has already assessed the needed levothyroxine amount. Compared with lower-strength levothyroxine tablets, this 150 mcg strength may help simplify dosing for patients who need a larger daily dose, but it should only be used when the prescribed dose matches this tablet strength.

• Hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone replacement after thyroid surgery
• Treatment of certain thyroid hormone deficiency states
• TSH suppression in selected thyroid conditions as prescribed

• Swallow Thyrofit 150 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 consistent absorption.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.
• Keep calcium, iron, antacids, and multivitamins several hours away from this tablet.
• Follow the exact dose your doctor prescribed; do not change from lower or higher levothyroxine tablets without medical advice.

Each Thyrofit 150 Tablet provides 150 micrograms of levothyroxine per tablet. It is usually taken once daily, but the exact schedule and whether any dose adjustment is needed depend on your thyroid tests, age, heart health, and overall condition. There is no routine maximum dose for everyone; your doctor decides the right daily amount and may adjust it over time.

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

Common side effects of Thyroxine / Levothyroxine may include:

• Headache
• Nervousness or restlessness
• Tremor
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations
• Sweating
• Insomnia
• Weight loss or increased appetite

• Thyrofit 150 Tablet is a higher-strength levothyroxine tablet, so taking more than prescribed can cause signs of too much thyroid hormone.
• Use extra caution if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or a history of arrhythmia.
• Tell your clinician if you have diabetes, adrenal problems, or pituitary disease because thyroid dosing may need careful adjustment.
• Take it consistently on an empty stomach; food can reduce absorption and make this 150 mcg dose seem weaker than expected.
• Separate it from calcium, iron, bile acid sequestrants, sucralfate, and some antacids because they can block absorption.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not stop or change the dose without medical advice; thyroid needs often change during pregnancy.
• Do not use Thyrofit 150 Tablet to lose weight; high thyroid hormone doses can be dangerous.

• Warfarin and other blood thinners
• Calcium supplements, iron supplements, and multivitamins
• Antacids or medicines containing aluminum or magnesium
• Cholestyramine, colesevelam, and similar bile acid binders
• Certain diabetes medicines, because thyroid replacement can affect glucose control
