Teva Levothyroxine 50mcg Tablets (Pack of 28)
Teva Levothyroxine 50mcg is a synthetic form of the hormone thyroxine (T4), which is naturally produced by the thyroid gland. It is primarily used as replacement therapy for patients with hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland), where the body does not produce enough thyroid hormone.
How it Works
Levothyroxine restores normal metabolic activity by mimicking the body's natural hormone production. This helps relieve symptoms of hypothyroidism such as tiredness, weight gain, and feeling cold.
Key Benefits
- Hormone Replacement: Effectively manages underactive thyroid conditions.
- TSH Suppression: Used in the management of specific thyroid conditions, including thyroid cancer and goiters.
- High Quality: Manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, a global leader in generic medications.
Important Dosage Note (mcg vs mg)
Standard levothyroxine doses are measured in micrograms (mcg). While some people may mistakenly search for "50mg," please note that a 50mg dose would be an extreme overdose. This product contains 50mcg (0.05mg) per tablet.
How to use
- Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- It is usually taken once a day on an empty stomach, typically 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast.
- If you have questions, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for guidance.
