Hi Lisa,

The closest match I can find is Levothyroxine 50 mcg (0.05 mg). It is an oval/oblong white pill with the imprint GG 332 on the front (divided by a score) and the number 50 on the back. Maybe the other imprints got smudged off at some point?

Manufacturer: Sandoz Pharmaceuticals Inc.

National Drug Code (NDC): 00781-518

Levothyroxine is typically used to treat hypothyroidism. It may also be used to treat goiter via its ability to lower thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), a hormone that is considered goiter-inducing.

Adverse effects:

Dosing must be carefully controlled to achieve TSH levels within the normal reference range. Long-term suppression of TSH values below normal values will frequently cause cardiac side-effects and contribute to decreases in bone mineral density (high TSH levels are also well known to contribute to osteoporosis).

Patients prescribed too high a dose of levothyroxine may experience effects that mimic hyperthyroidism. Overdose can result in heart palpitations, abdominal pain, nausea, anxiousness, confusion, agitation, insomnia, weight loss, and increased appetite.[9] Allergic reactions to the drug are characterized by symptoms such as difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or swelling of the face and tongue. Acute overdose may cause fever, hypoglycemia, heart failure, coma and unrecognized adrenal insufficiency.

Acute massive overdose may be life-threatening; treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. Massive overdose may require beta-blockers for increased parasympathetic activity.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Levothyroxine Details

I hope this helps!
