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.
