IS THIS MEDICATION GENERIC?
Hi,
Your doctor has prescribed synthroid 75microgram (0.075mg) to treat underactive thyroid. Levothyroxine sodium (the generic name) is the chief ingredient or active component of synthroid.
The prescribed medication is appropriate, however your dose needs to be titrated as per your TSH values i.e. thyroid hormone needs.
I hope this is what you were looking for. If you were looking for something else, let me know, I can address them.
Best Regards
