Tyroid Tablet 50 mcg contains Levothyroxine Sodium, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland produces insufficient hormones, leading to fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and slowed metabolism. By supplementing the body with levothyroxine, Tyroid helps restore normal thyroid hormone levels, supporting metabolism, energy balance, and overall well-being.

This formulation ensures precise dosing for adults and allows for consistent hormone replacement therapy.

Indications

Tyroid Tablet 50 mcg is indicated for:

• Primary hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
• Secondary or tertiary hypothyroidism due to pituitary or hypothalamic disorders
• Myxedema or severe thyroid hormone deficiency
• Management of goiter and prevention of thyroid hormone deficiency in certain cases

Mechanism of Action

Levothyroxine Sodium is converted in the body to triiodothyronine (T3), the active thyroid hormone:

• Regulates basal metabolic rate
• Stimulates protein synthesis and enzyme activity
• Supports growth, development, and energy metabolism
• Restores normal levels of thyroid hormones in patients with deficiency

Regular administration ensures stable hormone levels, preventing the symptoms of hypothyroidism.
