Thyromed 125 mcg Tablet

Thyromed 125 mcg Tablet is a prescription thyroid hormone replacement medicine containing thyroxine (levothyroxine) 125 mcg in each tablet. It belongs to the class of thyroid hormones and is used to replace or supplement the hormone your body does not make enough of. Doctors prescribe Thyromed 125 mcg Tablet for hypothyroidism and for certain other thyroid-related conditions when a higher tablet strength is appropriate. This product is made by Comed Chemicals and comes as tablets in a strip/box pack of 10.

How it works: Thyroxine/levothyroxine works by replacing the natural thyroid hormone that helps control energy use, metabolism, temperature, and many body functions. In tablet form, Thyromed 125 mcg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed in the digestive tract, then converted in the body to the active hormone your tissues use.

Thyromed 125 mcg Tablet is a higher-strength levothyroxine tablet, so it is usually chosen for people who already need a larger daily thyroid hormone dose based on lab results and symptoms. Compared with Thyromed 25 mcg, 50 mcg, 75 mcg, and 100 mcg Tablet, the 125 mcg strength allows a doctor to fine-tune treatment without taking multiple lower-strength tablets. It is not a starting strength for most new patients, and the dose should be selected by a clinician after thyroid testing.

• Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
• Thyroid hormone replacement after thyroid surgery
• Thyroid hormone replacement after radioactive iodine treatment
• Certain forms of goiter or thyroid suppression therapy as directed by a doctor

• Swallow Thyromed 125 mcg Tablet whole with a glass of water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it on an empty stomach, usually 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, for best absorption.
• Take it at the same time every day to keep thyroid levels steady.
• Avoid taking it with calcium, iron, antacids, or multivitamins at the same time; separate them by several hours.
• Do not change to a different thyroid dose or stop the tablet without medical advice.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Thyromed 125 mcg Tablet provides 125 mcg of levothyroxine per tablet. Many people take it once daily, but the exact schedule, total daily dose, and whether a higher or lower amount is needed are decided by the doctor based on age, weight, heart health, and thyroid blood tests. The maximum daily dose is not the same for every patient; this strength is meant for individualized dosing, not automatic use.

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