Thyrorich 125 mcg Tablet

Thyrorich 125 mcg Tablet contains 125 mcg of thyroxine (levothyroxine) in each tablet. It is a synthetic thyroid hormone used to replace or supplement the hormone your body is not making enough of. This medicine belongs to the thyroid hormone replacement class and is commonly prescribed for hypothyroidism and related thyroid hormone deficiency states. Thyrorich 125 mcg Tablet is taken by mouth and is meant to help restore normal thyroid hormone levels over time.

How it works: Levothyroxine in Thyrorich 125 mcg Tablet works like the natural thyroid hormone your body makes. After swallowing the tablet, it is absorbed and helps control metabolism, energy use, heart rate, and body temperature.

Thyrorich 125 mcg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet compared with Thyrorich 88 mcg Tablet and Thyrorich 100 mcg Tablet, so it is usually chosen when a doctor has already assessed that a larger levothyroxine dose is needed. It may be used in patients whose thyroid levels need more replacement than the lower strengths provide, while Thyrorich 150 mcg Tablet is a step up if an even higher dose is required. Because thyroid hormone needs vary from person to person, this strength is selected based on blood tests, symptoms, age, weight, and heart health.

• Hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone replacement
• Low thyroid hormone after thyroid surgery
• Thyroid hormone support in selected thyroid disorders

• Swallow Thyrorich 125 mcg Tablet whole with a full glass of water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it on an empty stomach, usually in the morning, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast.
• Do not take it at the same time as calcium, iron, antacids, or multivitamins; separate these by several hours as directed by your doctor.
• Try to take Thyrorich 125 mcg Tablet at the same time each day to keep thyroid levels stable.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor has told you that it is okay.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Thyrorich 125 mcg Tablet provides 125 micrograms of levothyroxine per tablet. It is often taken once daily, but the exact schedule and total daily dose are decided by the prescriber based on thyroid labs and your individual needs. Do not exceed the prescribed amount; in thyroid medicine, the correct dose is very personalized and too much can cause symptoms of overactive thyroid.

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