Thyroxine 62.5 mcg: Tailored Thyroid Hormone Therapy
Description:
Thyroxine 62.5 mcg (Levothyroxine Sodium) is a synthetic thyroid hormone (T4) used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland underproduces hormones. This specific dosage is used for patients who require more precise dosing adjustments between 50 mcg and 75 mcg. It helps restore normal metabolic activity, improves energy levels, and supports healthy function of the heart, brain, and other organs.
How to Use:
Take Thyroxine 62.5 mcg once daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach, about 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
To ensure proper absorption, avoid consuming calcium, iron, antacids, or high-fiber foods within 4 hours of taking the dose. Take your medication at the same time each day. Do not stop or alter the dose without consulting your doctor. Regular thyroid function tests will help guide any needed dose adjustments.
