What Is Levothyroxine 112mcg?

Levothyroxine is a man-made version of thyroxine (T4), the hormone your thyroid gland normally produces. When the thyroid is underactive, levothyroxine restores hormone levels to help regulate energy, metabolism, and body temperature. The 112mcg tablet is one of several strengths, and your provider selects the dose based on lab results and your response. It is typically taken once daily on an empty stomach and is often a long-term or lifelong treatment.
