What Levothyroxine 125 mcg is used for
- Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) – replaces the thyroid hormone your body is not making enough of.
- Relieves the tiredness, weight gain, hair fall, dry skin and low mood caused by low thyroid.
- After thyroid surgery or radio-iodine treatment, when the gland can no longer make hormone.
- Hypothyroidism in pregnancy, where the dose often needs to go up.
Frequently asked questions
Thyronorm 125 should be taken before or after food?
Before food, on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast or tea. Food, milk and coffee reduce how much hormone is absorbed.
Can I take Thyronorm 125 at night instead of morning?
Yes, if you take it at bedtime at least 3 hours after your last meal and keep to the same timing every day. Morning is more common because it is easier to keep the empty-stomach gap.
Thyronorm vs Eltroxin – which is better?
Both contain levothyroxine and work the same way. Small differences in absorption between brands can shift your TSH, so stick to one brand and tell your doctor if the chemist gives you a different one.
Is Thyronorm 125 safe in pregnancy?
Yes, and it is essential. Untreated low thyroid in pregnancy can affect the baby's brain development. Your doctor will usually increase the dose and check TSH every few weeks.
