Thyropic 100 mcg Tablet

Thyropic 100 mcg Tablet is a prescription thyroid hormone medicine that contains 100 mcg of thyroxine (levothyroxine) in each tablet. It belongs to the thyroid hormone replacement class and is used to treat an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) and related thyroid hormone deficiency. It may also be prescribed for other thyroid-related uses determined by a clinician, such as suppressing TSH in certain patients with thyroid disease.

How it works: Levothyroxine works by replacing the thyroid hormone your body normally makes, helping the body’s energy use, temperature control, heart rate, and metabolism return toward normal. As a tablet, Thyropic 100 mcg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed in the gut, then converted in the body to the active hormone your tissues can use.

Thyropic 100 mcg Tablet is a higher-strength levothyroxine tablet, so it is usually chosen for patients whose thyroid dose has already been adjusted and who need a larger single dose. Because there are no other Thyropic strengths or forms listed here, this product is best understood as one dose option within typical levothyroxine therapy, not a starting dose for everyone. A doctor may choose Thyropic 100 mcg Tablet when lab results and symptoms suggest this exact strength is appropriate.

• Treatment of hypothyroidism
• Replacement therapy after thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine treatment
• TSH suppression in selected thyroid disorders
• Long-term thyroid hormone replacement when prescribed by a clinician

• Swallow Thyropic 100 mcg Tablet with a full glass of water, unless your prescriber gives different directions.
• Take it on an empty stomach, usually 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, for best absorption.
• Take it at the same time each day to keep thyroid levels steady.
• Do not take it with calcium, iron, antacids, or multivitamins at the same time; separate by several hours if directed.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor says it is appropriate for your specific prescription.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions; do not double up unless told to do so.

Each Thyropic 100 mcg Tablet provides 100 micrograms of levothyroxine per tablet. It may be taken once daily for many patients, but the exact schedule and maximum daily dose depend on the condition being treated, age, heart health, and lab results. Your doctor decides the correct dose for you, and this 100 mcg strength is not meant to be adjusted on your own.

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