Thyrovan 100 mcg Tablet

Thyrovan 100 mcg Tablet is a thyroid hormone replacement medicine that contains levothyroxine (thyroxine) 100 mcg in each tablet. It belongs to the synthetic thyroid hormone class and is used to treat hypothyroidism, when the thyroid gland does not make enough hormone. Thyrovan 100 mcg Tablet may also be prescribed for other doctor-directed thyroid-related uses, such as helping suppress thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in certain patients. Because it replaces a hormone your body normally makes, the dose must be individualized by a healthcare professional.

How it works: Levothyroxine is a lab-made version of the thyroid hormone T4, and the tablet provides this hormone in a precise oral dose. After you swallow Thyrovan 100 mcg Tablet, your body converts it into the active hormone it needs to support normal metabolism, energy, and body functions.

Thyrovan 100 mcg Tablet is a higher-strength levothyroxine tablet, so it is usually suited to patients whose thyroid hormone needs have already been assessed and who need this exact maintenance dose. It is not a starter strength for everyone; doctors may choose 100 mcg when a lower dose is no longer enough or when lab results show this amount is appropriate. Compared with lower-strength tablets, this tablet delivers a larger hormone amount in one dose and may feel more potent if the dose is too high for your needs.

• Treatment of hypothyroidism
• Replacement therapy after thyroid surgery or ablation
• TSH suppression in selected thyroid disorders
• Management of certain congenital or acquired thyroid hormone deficiencies

• Swallow Thyrovan 100 mcg Tablet whole with a full glass of water unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Take it on an empty stomach, usually 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, for best absorption.
• Take it at the same time every day to keep your thyroid levels steady.
• Do not take it with calcium, iron, antacids, or bile acid binders at the same time; separate these products as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember the same day unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up unless your prescriber specifically instructs you to.
• Keep your routine consistent with food, coffee, and supplements because these can change how much medicine your body absorbs.

Each Thyrovan 100 mcg Tablet provides 100 mcg of levothyroxine per tablet. The exact dose and how often you take it are set by your doctor based on your age, weight, heart health, and thyroid lab results; in most cases it is taken once daily, and there is no single maximum daily dose that fits everyone. Do not increase or decrease this 100 mcg strength on your own, especially because it is a relatively high tablet strength.

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