Description

Overview: Levothyroxine 100 mcg is a synthetic thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and certain types of goiter. It works by replacing or supplementing the natural thyroid hormone in the body, helping to regulate metabolism and energy levels.

Composition: Each tablet of Levothyroxine 100 mcg contains 100 micrograms of the active ingredient, Levothyroxine sodium. Additional ingredients may include lactose, cornstarch, and magnesium stearate.

Usage: Levothyroxine 100 mcg is usually taken orally, preferably on an empty stomach, with a full glass of water. It’s important to take Levothyroxine at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the body. Avoid taking Levothyroxine with certain medications or supplements that may interfere with its absorption.

Dosage: The dosage of Levothyroxine 100 mcg is individualized based on factors such as age, weight, and the severity of hypothyroidism. It’s typically started at a low dose and gradually increased to achieve optimal thyroid hormone levels. Regular monitoring of thyroid function tests is essential to ensure the appropriate dosage.

Precautions: Before using Levothyroxine 100 mcg, inform your healthcare provider of any allergies to Levothyroxine or any other medications. Use with caution in individuals with heart disease, diabetes, or adrenal insufficiency. Levothyroxine should not be used for weight loss or as a substitute for thyroid hormone in euthyroid patients.

Storage: Store Levothyroxine 100 mcg tablets in their original packaging at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Keep them out of reach of children and pets, and discard any unused medication after the expiration date.
