Thyronorm 125mcg Tablet

Description

Thyronorm 125mcg Tablet contains Thyroxine (Levothyroxine Sodium), a synthetic thyroid hormone prescribed for patients with hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland). The 125mcg strength is a higher dose, generally prescribed to individuals with more significant thyroid hormone deficiency or as a maintenance dose after dose titration. It restores normal thyroid hormone levels, ensuring proper metabolism, growth, and energy regulation.

Composition:

• Thyroxine (125mcg)

Indications / Uses:
Thyronorm 125mcg is prescribed for:

• Hypothyroidism (primary, secondary, congenital, or acquired)

• Goiter (enlarged thyroid gland)

• Post-thyroidectomy or post-radioiodine therapy to maintain hormone balance

• Thyroid cancer suppression therapy (to reduce TSH stimulation)

• Long-term management of thyroid hormone deficiency in adults and adolescents

How It Works:
Thyroxine (T4) is a synthetic version of the natural thyroid hormone that regulates:

• Metabolism and energy balance

• Heart rate and body temperature

• Growth and brain development

• Protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism

By supplementing low hormone levels, Thyronorm 125mcg restores normal physiological function.

Dosage & Administration:

• Usually taken once daily on an empty stomach, at least 30–60 minutes before breakfast.

• Swallow with water; avoid coffee, tea, or milk immediately after.

• The 125mcg dose is typically a maintenance strength and prescribed only after monitoring TSH levels.

• Dose adjustments should always be guided by a physician.

Side Effects:
If taken in excess, symptoms of hyperthyroidism may occur:

• Rapid or irregular heartbeat

• Anxiety, nervousness, or irritability

• Tremors, insomnia

• Excessive sweating, heat intolerance

• Unexplained weight loss despite normal or increased appetite
  Rare: chest pain, seizures, or severe allergic reactions.

Precautions & Warnings:

• Regular monitoring of thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4) is essential.

• Use cautiously in patients with heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, or osteoporosis.

• Contraindicated in untreated adrenal gland disorders.

• Pregnant women may require dose adjustments, but therapy must be continued.

• Should not be used as a weight-loss medicine in people with normal thyroid function.

Storage Instructions:

• Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and out of children’s reach.
