Thyroxine 88 mcg: Optimizing Thyroid Hormone Balance
Description:
Thyroxine 88 mcg (Levothyroxine Sodium) is a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4), a hormone normally produced by the thyroid gland. It is prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid is underactive and does not produce enough hormones. This dosage is commonly used as part of dose titration to precisely match the patient’s thyroid needs. It supports metabolic activity, heart function, temperature regulation, and mental clarity.
How to Use:
Take Thyroxine 88 mcg once daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
Avoid eating or taking supplements (especially those containing calcium, iron, soy, or fiber) within 4 hours of taking your dose, as they can affect absorption.
Follow your doctor’s instructions closely. Do not adjust the dose or stop taking the medication without medical advice. Routine thyroid function tests (TSH, T4) will help guide dosage adjustments.
