Thyronorm 112 mcg Tablet

Thyronorm 112 mcg Tablet is a prescription thyroid hormone replacement medicine containing 112 micrograms of levothyroxine (thyroxine) in each tablet. It belongs to the thyroid hormone class and is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not make enough hormone. It may also be used when a doctor wants to suppress thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in certain thyroid disorders. Thyronorm 112 mcg Tablet is a higher-strength levothyroxine tablet, so it is meant for patients whose dose has been carefully determined by a clinician.

How it works: Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of the natural thyroid hormone T4, and Thyronorm 112 mcg Tablet replaces the hormone your body is missing. After absorption, it is converted in the body to the active hormone T3, which helps control metabolism, energy use, heart rate, and body temperature.

Thyronorm 112 mcg Tablet sits between the 100 mcg and 125 mcg strengths, so it can help fine-tune thyroid replacement when a smaller increase is needed. Doctors may choose this strength when a patient needs a specific levothyroxine dose adjustment based on TSH labs, symptoms, body size, age, heart status, or prior response to other strengths. Because it is a higher strength than the low-dose tablets, it should not be used as a starting tablet unless a doctor has specifically prescribed it.

• Treatment of hypothyroidism
• Replacement therapy after thyroid surgery
• Treatment of certain forms of goiter, as prescribed
• TSH suppression in selected thyroid conditions

• Take Thyronorm 112 mcg Tablet by mouth with a full glass of water.
• Take it on an empty stomach, usually 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast.
• Swallow the tablet whole unless your doctor or pharmacist says otherwise.
• Take it at the same time every day to keep thyroid levels steady.
• Separate it from calcium, iron, antacids, or bile acid binders by several hours as directed.
• Do not change from another levothyroxine tablet strength without medical advice.

Each Thyronorm 112 mcg Tablet contains 112 micrograms of levothyroxine. It is usually taken once daily, but the exact schedule and daily amount are based on thyroid labs and your doctor’s judgment. The maximum dose is individualized and depends on the reason for treatment; do not increase or split the dose on your own.

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

• Overreplacement can cause bone loss, especially with long-term use or in postmenopausal women.
• Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, because thyroid hormone can affect blood sugar control.
• Pregnancy may increase levothyroxine needs, so dose checks are often required.
• Do not use it to treat weight loss or energy enhancement in someone without hypothyroidism.
• If you miss doses often, your TSH can become unstable and the dose may need reassessment.

• Calcium supplements and antacids can reduce absorption.
• Iron supplements can interfere with how well the tablet works.
• Cholestyramine, colesevelam, and colestipol can block absorption.
• Warfarin may work differently when thyroid hormone dose changes.
