This medication is used to replace or supplement thyroid hormone in patients suffering from hypothyroidism—a condition where the thyroid gland is underactive. THYRORISE 50 provides a moderate-strength dosage ideal for maintenance therapy or for patients who have been stabilized on initial lower doses.
