Located an exact match, it's Levothyroxine 0.05 mg. This medicine is a hormone replacement usually given to patients with thyroid problems, specifically, hypothyroidism.

No, sometimes your body gets use to the dose that you are taking and you may need to increase your dose if you are feeling increased hypothyroid symptoms. I have been on synthroid and levothyroxine. I prefer synthroid over levothyroxine, but for everyone it is different. I feel worst when my doctor tell me that my levels are within normal range and I feel my best when they are slightly higher. Find out what works best for you and try to stay there. My TSH has been as high as 80 and as low as .5 Know your numbers and when you feel your best, go get your labs done, so you can know where you need to stay.
