Thyronorm 62.5 mcg Tablet

Thyronorm 62.5 mcg Tablet is a prescription thyroid hormone replacement medicine that contains 62.5 micrograms of thyroxine (levothyroxine) 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 prescribed when a doctor needs to adjust thyroid hormone levels more precisely. This tablet is made by Abbott Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Levothyroxine acts like the natural thyroid hormone your body normally makes, helping control metabolism, energy use, heart rate, and temperature. In tablet form, Thyronorm 62.5 mcg Tablet provides a measured dose that the body absorbs and uses to bring thyroid hormone levels back toward normal.

Thyronorm 62.5 mcg Tablet is a mid-strength option that sits between the lower 50 mcg and higher 100 mcg-type strengths, so it can help doctors fine-tune treatment without jumping too far in dose. It is often chosen for people who need a small upward adjustment, or for patients whose thyroid levels have not been balanced with lower strengths alone. Because 62.5 mcg is not a usual starting dose for everyone, it should only be used when a clinician has assessed the need for this exact strength.

• Hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone replacement
• Dose adjustment for changing TSH levels
• Maintenance therapy after thyroid surgery or treatment, when prescribed
• Other thyroid hormone replacement uses as directed by a doctor

• Take Thyronorm 62.5 mcg Tablet exactly as prescribed, usually once daily.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it on an empty stomach, ideally 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast.
• Do not take it at the same time as calcium, iron, antacids, or multivitamins.
• Try to take it at the same time every day to keep thyroid levels steady.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions rather than doubling up unless told to do so.

Each Thyronorm 62.5 mcg Tablet provides 62.5 micrograms of levothyroxine in one tablet. It is usually taken once daily, but the exact schedule and total daily dose depend on your thyroid tests, age, heart health, and response to treatment. The maximum daily dose is individualized by the doctor; do not increase the amount on your own, especially because this strength may be part of a carefully adjusted regimen.

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 feeling shaky
• Trouble sleeping
• Increased heart rate or palpitations
• Sweating

• Mild stomach upset

• Thyronorm 62.5 mcg Tablet is a higher, doctor-selected strength and should not be used to self-adjust thyroid treatment.
• Use extra caution if you have heart disease, angina, arrhythmia, or high blood pressure, because too much thyroid hormone can strain the heart.
• Tell your doctor about osteoporosis or risk factors for bone loss, since excess thyroid hormone can worsen bone thinning.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding may require dose changes, so thyroid levels should be monitored closely.
• Do not take it with calcium, iron, aluminum-containing antacids, bile acid binders, or some multivitamins because they can reduce absorption.
• Alcohol is not known to directly block levothyroxine, but heavy use can make overall health and thyroid control harder to manage.
• This medicine can affect how you feel if the dose is too high, which may make driving or using machinery unsafe until you know your response.

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