Thyromed 100 mcg Tablet

Thyromed 100 mcg Tablet is a prescription thyroid hormone medicine containing levothyroxine (thyroxine) 100 mcg in each tablet. It belongs to the thyroid hormone replacement class and is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid does not make enough hormone. It may also be used in other doctor-directed thyroid conditions, such as TSH suppression in selected patients. Thyromed 100 mcg Tablet is a stronger tablet option that is typically chosen when a clinician has already assessed that a 100 mcg dose is appropriate.

How it works: Levothyroxine works like the natural thyroid hormone your body normally makes, helping regulate metabolism, energy use, heart rate, and body temperature. In tablet form, Thyromed 100 mcg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract, then converted into active hormone in the body.

Thyromed 100 mcg Tablet is not a starter strength for everyone; it is a higher-dose tablet compared with Thyromed 25 mcg Tablet, Thyromed 50 mcg Tablet, and Thyromed 75 mcg Tablet. Doctors may choose Thyromed 100 mcg Tablet for patients who need a larger replacement dose, have already been titrated upward, or need a specific mid-to-higher dose that fits their thyroid labs and symptoms. Because levothyroxine is potent, the effect is not usually felt right away and dose changes are based on blood tests, not just how you feel.

• Hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone replacement therapy
• TSH suppression therapy in selected patients
• After thyroid surgery or ablation, when prescribed
• Other thyroid hormone deficiency states as directed by a doctor

• Take Thyromed 100 mcg Tablet exactly as prescribed, usually once daily.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush unless your doctor or pharmacist says it is okay.
• Take it on an empty stomach, ideally 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, for best absorption.
• Keep it separate from calcium, iron, antacids, sucralfate, and some multivitamins by at least 4 hours.
• Try to take it at the same time every day so your thyroid levels stay stable.
• If your doctor changes your dose, do not switch back and forth between strengths on your own.

Each Thyromed 100 mcg Tablet provides 100 micrograms of levothyroxine per tablet; there is no lower amount split into this product. It is usually taken once daily, but the exact dose and any increases or decreases are decided by the doctor based on TSH and other lab results. Do not take more than prescribed, because the safe maximum for any one person depends on age, heart health, and thyroid test results rather than the tablet strength alone.

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

Common side effects of Thyroxine / Levothyroxine may include:

• Nervousness or jitteriness
• Headache

• Increased sweating
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations

• Thyromed 100 mcg Tablet is a higher-strength levothyroxine tablet, so it should only be used when a doctor has confirmed this dose is appropriate.
• People with heart disease, angina, arrhythmias, or a history of heart attack need extra caution because too much thyroid hormone can strain the heart.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, because thyroid needs often change and monitoring is important.
• Do not take it at the same time as calcium, iron, aluminum-containing antacids, or multivitamins because they can reduce absorption.
• Let your clinician know about diabetes, adrenal problems, osteoporosis, or pituitary disease, since thyroid hormone can affect these conditions.
• If you miss doses often or change brands/strengths, your thyroid tests may shift and your dose may need adjustment.
• Avoid making major diet changes, high-fiber changes, or starting soy supplements without asking your doctor, because they may affect absorption.

• Calcium supplements
• Iron supplements
• Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium
• Warfarin
• Insulin and diabetes medicines
