Thyronorm 125 mcg Tablet

Thyronorm 125 mcg Tablet is a prescription thyroid hormone replacement medicine that contains 125 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. By replacing the missing hormone, Thyronorm 125 mcg Tablet helps support normal energy, metabolism, and body functions. It may also be used in other thyroid-related situations when a doctor specifically prescribes this strength.

How it works: Thyroxine/levothyroxine is the same type of hormone your thyroid normally makes, so this tablet replaces what your body is missing. The tablet raises thyroid hormone levels in the bloodstream, helping cells use energy normally and improving symptoms caused by low thyroid hormone.

Thyronorm 125 mcg Tablet is a higher-strength levothyroxine tablet, so it is usually chosen for people whose thyroid hormone needs are already known and stable. It is not the usual starting strength for most patients; doctors often adjust doses using lower strengths such as 12.5 mcg, 25 mcg, 50 mcg, 62.5 mcg, 100 mcg, 112 mcg, or 137 mcg before settling on 125 mcg or another exact dose. Because levothyroxine needs are individualized, the 125 mcg tablet should only be used when a clinician has determined this dose is appropriate.

• Treatment of hypothyroidism
• Long-term thyroid hormone replacement
• Support after thyroid surgery when prescribed
• Management of certain thyroid hormone deficiency states
• As directed by a doctor for exact hormone replacement needs

• Swallow the Thyronorm 125 mcg 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 to keep thyroid levels steady.
• Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically tells you to.
• Keep calcium, iron, antacids, and multivitamins several hours away from this tablet.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up without medical advice.

Each Thyronorm 125 mcg Tablet provides 125 mcg of levothyroxine in one tablet. It is usually taken once daily, but the exact schedule depends on the patient’s thyroid tests, age, weight, and other medical conditions. Do not take more than your doctor prescribes; the maximum daily dose is individualized and this 125 mcg strength is not meant for self-adjustment.

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