Description

Thyronorm 137mcg Tablet contains Thyroxine (Levothyroxine Sodium), a synthetic thyroid hormone widely used in the treatment of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland). This specific 137mcg strength is prescribed for patients who require a precise mid-range dose to stabilize their thyroid hormone levels. It helps restore normal thyroid function, regulate metabolism, and improve energy levels.

Composition:

Thyroxine (137mcg)

Indications / Uses:
Thyronorm 137mcg is prescribed for:

Hypothyroidism (congenital, primary, or secondary)
Goiter (enlargement of thyroid gland)
After thyroid surgery or radioiodine therapy to maintain hormone balance
Thyroid cancer suppression therapy (to reduce TSH stimulation of thyroid tissue)
Long-term maintenance therapy in patients needing fine-tuned dosing

How It Works:
Thyroxine is a synthetic version of the natural thyroid hormone T4, which:

Regulates metabolism, energy, and body weight
Supports heart rate, body temperature, and nervous system function
Plays a role in growth and brain development
Maintains balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism

By supplementing low hormone levels, Thyronorm 137mcg restores normal body function and prevents hypothyroid symptoms.

Dosage & Administration:

Take once daily, on an empty stomach, at least 30–60 minutes before breakfast.
Swallow whole with water. Avoid tea, coffee, or milk immediately afterward.
The 137mcg dose allows for accurate dose adjustments in patients who don’t fit standard dosing strengths.
Dose is tailored individually and requires regular TSH monitoring.

Rapid or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
Anxiety, nervousness, restlessness
Insomnia or sleep disturbances
Heat intolerance, sweating
Unexplained weight loss despite normal appetite
Rare: chest pain, seizures, or allergic reactions.
