Thyroxine 75 mcg: Supporting Balanced Thyroid Function
Description:
Thyroxine 75 mcg (Levothyroxine Sodium) is a synthetic thyroid hormone (T4) prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland fails to produce adequate thyroid hormone. It helps normalize the body’s metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, and heart and brain function. The 75 mcg dose is typically used during dose titration or as a maintenance dose, tailored to the patient’s thyroid hormone levels.
How to Use:
Take Thyroxine 75 mcg orally once a day, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
For optimal absorption, avoid calcium, iron, antacids, soy, or high-fiber foods within 4 hours of taking the medication. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and attend regular follow-ups for thyroid function tests to ensure proper dosage and treatment response.
