Thyroxine 25 mcg: Low-Dose Thyroid Hormone Replacement
Description:
Thyroxine 25 mcg (Levothyroxine Sodium) is a low-dose synthetic thyroid hormone (T4) used to treat hypothyroidism—a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. It helps maintain healthy metabolism, brain function, and energy levels. This dose is commonly used for starting therapy, dose adjustments, or in elderly or sensitive patients who require gradual hormone correction.
How to Use:
Take Thyroxine 25 mcg once daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach, about 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water.
To ensure proper absorption, avoid taking antacids, calcium, iron supplements, or high-fiber foods within 4 hours of the dose. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely, and never stop or adjust the dose without medical advice. Blood tests are often done every few weeks to monitor your thyroid levels and adjust dosage accordingly.
