Thyronorm 137mcg Tablet

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.
