Thyroace 50 Tablet

Thyroace 50 Tablet is a tablet form of levothyroxine (thyroxine), a synthetic thyroid hormone used to replace or supplement the hormone your body is not making enough of. Each tablet contains 50 micrograms of levothyroxine sodium, and the product is supplied by Morepen Laboratories. It belongs to the thyroid hormone replacement class and is used to treat hypothyroidism, certain goiter conditions, and other thyroid hormone deficiency states as directed by a clinician.

How it works: Levothyroxine in Thyroace 50 Tablet works by replacing the thyroid hormone your body normally makes, helping restore normal energy use, temperature control, and metabolism. After you swallow the tablet, it is absorbed in the digestive tract and converted in the body into the active hormone that helps tissues function properly.

Thyroace 50 Tablet is a mid-strength option compared with Thyroace 75 Tablet, so it may suit people who need more than a very low dose but do not yet need a 75 microgram tablet. Doctors often choose this strength when adjusting thyroid levels step by step, because levothyroxine is usually tailored to the person’s age, weight, heart health, and lab results rather than used as a one-size-fits-all dose.

• Hypothyroidism
• Thyroid hormone replacement therapy
• Certain goiter cases
• Post-thyroid surgery replacement, if prescribed
• TSH suppression therapy, if prescribed by a doctor

• Take Thyroace 50 Tablet by mouth 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 for best absorption.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Keep it away from calcium, iron, antacids, and multivitamins by at least 4 hours.
• Take it at the same time each day so your thyroid levels stay steady.
• If you miss a dose, take it when remembered the same day unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Thyroace 50 Tablet provides 50 micrograms of levothyroxine per tablet. It is often taken once daily, but the exact schedule and any dose increase or decrease depend on your thyroid tests and your doctor’s judgment; do not change the dose on your own. The maximum daily dose is individualized and should only be set by a healthcare professional, since too much levothyroxine can be harmful.

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

Common side effects of Thyroxine / Levothyroxine may include:

• Headache
• Nervousness
• Tremor
• Insomnia
• Increased sweating
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations
• Stomach upset or diarrhea

• Use extra caution if you have heart disease, arrhythmia, or a history of chest pain, because levothyroxine can strain the heart if the dose is too high.
• This 50 microgram strength may still be too strong for some patients who need a very small starting dose, especially older adults or people with cardiac disease.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, because thyroid hormone needs often change during pregnancy and dose adjustments may be required.
• Do not use Thyroace 50 Tablet to lose weight; taking more than prescribed can be dangerous.
• Alcohol can worsen stomach upset or sleep problems in some people taking levothyroxine.
• Let your clinician know about adrenal problems, diabetes, osteoporosis, or pituitary disorders before starting.
• Driving is usually not affected, but if you feel dizzy, shaky, or have palpitations, avoid driving until you feel well.

• Calcium supplements and iron products can reduce absorption if taken too close to Thyroace 50 Tablet.
• Antacids, sucralfate, bile acid sequestrants, and some stomach medicines can interfere with levothyroxine absorption.
• Warfarin may have stronger blood-thinning effects when thyroid hormone dose changes.
• Certain seizure medicines, rifampin, and some antidepressants can affect thyroid hormone levels or response.
• Soy products and high-fiber meals may reduce absorption if taken at the same time.
