Thyrox 12.5 Tablet

Thyrox 12.5 Tablet is a medication used to manage hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland produces insufficient thyroid hormones. It contains Levothyroxine Sodium, a synthetic form of the naturally occurring thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). This medicine helps restore normal hormone levels in the body, regulating metabolism, energy production, and growth processes. Thyrox 12.5 Tablet is often prescribed to treat conditions like goiter, thyroid hormone deficiency, and certain types of thyroid nodules. By correcting hormone imbalance, it helps alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and slow heart rate. Regular use under medical supervision ensures proper thyroid function, supports metabolism, and improves overall health and quality of life.
