Thyronorm 12.5 mcg

Thyronorm 12.5 mcg contains Levothyroxine sodium 12.5 mcg (as thyroid hormone) per tablet. Prescription required.

Treatment of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid); TSH suppression in certain thyroid conditions as advised by a doctor (e.g., goitre/thyroid cancer follow-up).

Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4), the natural thyroid hormone. It is converted to the active hormone (T3) in the body and helps normalize metabolism, energy levels, and TSH levels in hypothyroidism.

Take orally once daily exactly as prescribed. Usually taken on an empty stomach with water, preferably in the morning 30–60 minutes before breakfast; take at the same time each day. Avoid taking with calcium/iron/antacids or high-fibre/soy meals—separate by at least 4 hours. Do not stop or change dose without medical advice; periodic TSH monitoring is needed.
