Teva Levothyroxine 100mcg – 28 Tablets
Thyroid Hormone Replacement for Hypothyroidism
Teva Levothyroxine 100mcg is a prescription thyroid hormone replacement used to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland). It contains levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic form of the natural thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4).
When the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, the body’s metabolism slows down, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and cold sensitivity. Levothyroxine works by restoring adequate hormone levels, helping regulate metabolism, energy production, and overall physiological balance.
How to Take Teva Levothyroxine 100mcg
For the best results and proper absorption, levothyroxine 100mcg should be taken on an empty stomach, ideally 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. It is recommended to take the tablet with a full glass of water. Avoid taking it with milk, coffee, or calcium/iron supplements, as these can interfere with how the medicine works.

Important Information
Treatment with levothyroxine is typically long-term and requires regular monitoring through blood tests to ensure the correct dosage. Because it is a medication with a narrow therapeutic index, it is important to stay consistent with the brand prescribed by your doctor. If you have questions about switching brands or managing your dosage, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for guidance.
