Thyroup 150 Tablet

Thyroup 150 Tablet is a levothyroxine (thyroxine) medicine in tablet form used to replace or supplement the body’s natural thyroid hormone. Each Thyroup 150 Tablet contains 150 micrograms of levothyroxine sodium, a higher-strength thyroid hormone replacement tablet from Lupin, India. It is prescribed for hypothyroidism and other situations where a doctor wants thyroid hormone levels brought back into the target range. Because it is a high-strength tablet, it is intended for patients whose dose has already been assessed and adjusted by a clinician.

How it works: Levothyroxine in Thyroup 150 Tablet acts like the natural hormone made by your thyroid gland. After swallowing the tablet, it is absorbed into the body and helps control energy use, temperature, heart rate, and many other body functions.

Thyroup 150 Tablet is one of the higher strengths in the Thyroup range, alongside 12.5, 25, 50, and 75 tablets. It may be chosen for patients who need a larger maintenance dose, or as part of a tailored dose plan using one tablet strength consistently. Compared with lower strengths, this 150 mcg tablet is not usually a starting dose for most people, especially those with heart disease, older adults, or anyone who is sensitive to thyroid hormone.

• Hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone replacement after thyroid surgery
• Thyroid hormone replacement after radioiodine treatment
• Selected cases of goiter or thyroid suppression therapy, if prescribed by a doctor

• Take Thyroup 150 Tablet by mouth with a full glass of water, unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Take it on an empty stomach, usually 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, for more predictable absorption.
• Keep thyroid medicine timing consistent every day so your dose works the same way from day to day.
• Separate it from calcium, iron, antacids, or multivitamins by several hours because these can block absorption.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up unless your doctor says to.

Each Thyroup 150 Tablet provides 150 mcg of levothyroxine per tablet. Many patients take it once daily, but the exact schedule depends on the reason for treatment, age, heart health, lab results, and how they respond to therapy. The maximum daily amount is not the same for everyone, and your doctor decides the right dose rather than increasing or decreasing it on your own.

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
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations, which may be more noticeable with this 150 mcg strength if the dose is too high
• Trouble sleeping
• Sweating
• Heat intolerance
• Temporary hair shedding during early treatment or after a dose change

• Thyroup 150 Tablet is a higher-strength levothyroxine tablet, so it should only be used when a doctor has confirmed that this dose is appropriate.
• People with heart disease, arrhythmias, angina, or a history of heart attack need careful dose adjustment because thyroid hormone can strain the heart.
• Do not use it to treat weight loss or low energy if you do not have a diagnosed thyroid problem.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, because thyroid dose needs can change.
• Let your clinician know if you have diabetes, adrenal problems, osteoporosis, or pituitary disease.
• Alcohol does not directly inactivate the tablet, but heavy drinking can worsen symptoms and interfere with overall health management.
• If you feel overtreated, such as having pounding heart, anxiety, or insomnia, contact your prescriber rather than stopping the medicine suddenly.

• Calcium supplements, iron supplements, and multivitamins can reduce absorption of Thyroup 150 Tablet.
• Antacids containing aluminum, magnesium, or simethicone can interfere with absorption.
• Warfarin and other blood thinners may need closer monitoring when levothyroxine is started or changed.
• Insulin and diabetes medicines may need adjustment because thyroid replacement can affect blood sugar control.
• Certain medicines such as cholestyramine, colestipol, and sucralfate can lower levothyroxine absorption.

Store Thyroup 150 Tablet at room temperature in its original strip/box, away from moisture, heat, and direct light, and keep it out of reach of children.
