T4

Description

Product Overview

T4 (Levothyroxine Sodium) 100 mcg Tablets by Alpha BioPharma provide a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone L-thyroxine (T4), identical to the hormone naturally produced by the thyroid gland. Levothyroxine is essential for maintaining a healthy metabolism, growth, energy regulation, and neurological function.

Clinically, T4 is prescribed as a first-line treatment for hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone replacement following thyroidectomy or radioactive iodine therapy, and for the suppression of goitre. Its role in regulating cardiac output, metabolic activity, and CNS development makes it one of the most critical hormones in the human body.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Levothyroxine Sodium – 100 mcg
• Excipients – q.s.

Manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards for consistent potency and bioavailability.
