It is used to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), a condition where the gland produces insufficient thyroid hormones, leading to slowed metabolism, fatigue, weight gain, constipation, depression, and other symptoms. It also manages goiter (thyroid enlargement) and thyroid hormone replacement in cases of deficiency, such as post-thyroidectomy or congenital hypothyroidism. Restoring normal hormone levels helps regulate metabolism, energy production, and overall bodily functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eReplacement therapy for primary hypothyroidism (e.g., Hashimoto's thyroiditis, post-surgical, or radioactive iodine ablation)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eManagement of secondary or tertiary hypothyroidism (pituitary or hypothalamic issues)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eTreatment of congenital hypothyroidism in infants and children\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eSuppression of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in thyroid cancer or nodules\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eAdjunct management of goiter to normalize hormone levels and reduce gland size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThyroxine Sodium Tablets IP 75 mcg provide hormone replacement therapy with synthetic T\u003csub\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e, which is bioidentical to the natural hormone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eAbsorption and Conversion: After oral ingestion, it is absorbed primarily in the small intestine and enters the bloodstream.
