Thyine 12.5 Tablet contains Thyroxine (Levothyroxine) 12.5 mcg, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine), essential for regulating metabolism, energy production, and overall growth and development. It is primarily used for managing hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, hair thinning, and cold sensitivity.
Thyroxine plays a vital role in maintaining the body's metabolic rate, heart function, digestion, brain development, and muscle activity. It helps restore normal thyroid hormone levels, alleviating the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction. Additionally, it may be used in certain cases of goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), thyroid hormone replacement therapy, and thyroid disorders linked to pregnancy.
Thyine 12.5 is an essential therapy for individuals diagnosed with subclinical or mild hypothyroidism, where a slight imbalance in thyroid hormones affects metabolism. It is commonly prescribed for patients needing precise dosage adjustments to achieve optimal thyroid hormone balance without excessive stimulation.
For best results, this medication should be taken on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning, at least 30–60 minutes before breakfast, as food can interfere with absorption. Regular thyroid function tests are recommended to monitor TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) levels and adjust the dosage accordingly.
