Nepeta 100 Tablet

Nepeta 100 Tablet is a thyroid hormone medicine that contains levothyroxine (thyroxine) in tablet form. Each bottle of Nepeta 100 Tablet contains 100 mcg tablets of levothyroxine, and the medicine belongs to the thyroid hormone replacement class. It is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not make enough hormone, and may also be prescribed for other thyroid-related indications decided by a doctor. Because Nepeta 100 Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, it should be used only when a prescriber has assessed that 100 mcg is the right dose.

How it works: Levothyroxine works like the natural thyroid hormone your body normally makes, helping control energy use, heart rate, temperature, and metabolism. In tablet form, Nepeta 100 Tablet is swallowed and absorbed in the digestive tract, then converted in the body to the active hormone needed to replace or supplement low thyroid hormone levels.

Nepeta 100 Tablet is the same active ingredient as Nepeta 50 Tablet, but each tablet provides a higher levothyroxine dose. Doctors may choose Nepeta 100 Tablet when a lower dose is not enough, when a patient is already stable on a similar total daily dose, or when a simpler once-daily regimen is needed. Like other levothyroxine tablets, it does not provide an immediate "feeling" effect; benefits build gradually as thyroid levels normalize.

• Treatment of hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone replacement therapy
• Maintenance therapy after thyroid surgery or ablation, if prescribed
• Goiter or thyroid suppression therapy, if directed by a doctor

• Swallow Nepeta 100 Tablet whole with a full glass of water unless your prescriber gives different directions.
• Take it on an empty stomach, ideally 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, for best absorption.
• Take it at the same time every day to keep thyroid levels steady.
• Keep it away from calcium, iron, antacids, or multivitamins by at least 4 hours unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or prescriber confirms it is appropriate.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember the same day; do not double up unless your doctor instructs you to.

This product provides levothyroxine 100 mcg per tablet, so the dose is stronger than Nepeta 50 Tablet and is not a starting strength for everyone. It is usually taken once daily, but the exact schedule and any adjustment depend on your thyroid tests, age, heart health, and treatment goals. The maximum daily dose is individualized by the prescriber, and your doctor should decide whether Nepeta 100 Tablet is the right strength for you.

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

• Fast heartbeat or palpitations, which may be more likely if 100 mcg is higher than your body needs

• Nepeta 100 Tablet is a higher-strength levothyroxine tablet, so taking more than prescribed can cause symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, arrhythmias, or a history of heart attack before using this strength.
• Do not change brands, strengths, or dosing schedules without medical advice, because small levothyroxine changes can affect thyroid levels.

• Take care with calcium, iron, antacids, bile-acid binders, and fiber supplements because they can reduce absorption of the tablet.
