Levothyroxine sodium 50mcg (active ingredient).
Levothyroxine 50mcg Tablets contain levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). They are used to treat an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), replacing the hormone the thyroid is not making enough of, to relieve symptoms such as tiredness, weight gain, feeling cold and low mood. The 50mcg strength is a commonly used maintenance dose, helping adults manage hypothyroidism under a doctor's care and regular blood-test monitoring.
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor. Levothyroxine is usually taken once daily in the morning, on an empty stomach, at least 30-60 minutes before breakfast or other medicines, swallowed whole with water. Take it at the same time each day and continue regularly. Do not stop or change the dose without medical advice. Your doctor will adjust the dose based on blood tests.
This is a prescription medicine. The dose is individual and set by blood tests. Too much can cause palpitations, tremor, sweating or weight loss, and too little leaves symptoms uncontrolled. Tell your doctor about heart problems, diabetes or adrenal problems. Separate it from calcium, iron, antacids and some other medicines/foods (e.g. soya) by several hours, as they reduce absorption. Tell your doctor if pregnant. Dose needs often rise. Store in a cool, dry place. This product information is for general guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Keep all medicines out of reach of children.
