Key Details
- Active Ingredient: Levothyroxine Sodium (125 mcg / 0.125 mg).
- Primary Uses: Manages hypothyroidism, goiter, and certain types of thyroid cancer.
- How It Works: Acts as a synthetic version of the natural thyroxine (T 4) hormone, which is converted in the body to the active form (T 3) to regulate physiological processes, brain development, and cardiovascular function.
Dosage and Administration
- Best Practice: Take exactly as prescribed, typically as a single daily dose on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast.
- Medication Spacing: Avoid consuming antacids, calcium supplements, iron, or milk within 4 hours of taking the tablet, as these can drastically reduce its absorption.
- Duration: It is usually a long-term (often lifelong) medication. Do not stop taking it without consulting your physician, as sudden discontinuation can cause symptoms to return
