Thyroxine 200 mcg: Hormonal Therapy for Thyroid Health
Description:
Thyroxine 200 mcg (Levothyroxine Sodium) is a synthetic thyroid hormone (T4) prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland produces insufficient thyroid hormones. This medication helps normalize the body’s metabolism, supports heart and digestive function, and promotes healthy muscle control, brain development, and bone maintenance.
How to Use:
Take Thyroxine 200 mcg orally once daily on an empty stomach, ideally 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water. Consistency in timing and method of intake improves hormone levels’ stability.
Avoid food, calcium, iron supplements, and antacids within 4 hours of taking the medication, as they can reduce absorption. Never change your dose without medical supervision. Overdose or sudden discontinuation may lead to serious health issues.
