THYCORA

Thyroxine Sodium Tablets I.P. 75 mcg is a medication commonly used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. The active ingredient, thyroxine sodium (also known as levothyroxine sodium), is a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4), a hormone that is naturally produced by the thyroid gland and is essential for maintaining the body's metabolism.

Active Ingredient:

• Thyroxine Sodium (Levothyroxine Sodium): This synthetic hormone mimics the natural thyroxine (T4) produced by the thyroid gland, helping to restore normal thyroid levels in the body.

Uses:

1. Treatment of Hypothyroidism: Thyroxine Sodium Tablets are primarily prescribed for patients with hypothyroidism. This condition can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, depression, and slow heart rate due to the insufficient production of thyroid hormones.

2. Goiter Treatment and Prevention: Thyroxine is also used to treat and prevent goiters, which are enlargements of the thyroid gland that can result from iodine deficiency, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, or other thyroid conditions.

3. Thyroid Cancer: In some cases, Thyroxine Sodium Tablets may be used as part of the treatment regimen for thyroid cancer to suppress the growth of residual thyroid tissue following surgery or radiation therapy.

4. Thyroid Function Testing: Thyroxine may be used as a diagnostic tool in thyroid function tests to assess how the thyroid gland is responding.
