Which Levothyroxine tablet color corresponds to a 100 mcg dosage?

  1. Orange

  2. White

  3. Yellow

  4. Green

The correct answer is: Yellow

Levothyroxine is a medication used to treat thyroid hormone deficiency. It is available in different strengths, with the 100-mcg dosage being a common strength. The color of levothyroxine tablets represents the different strengths. Option A (Orange) is incorrect because it corresponds to a 75-mcg dosage. Option B (White) is incorrect because it corresponds to a 50-mcg dosage. Option C (Yellow) is the correct answer for the 100-mcg dosage. Option D (Green) is incorrect because it corresponds to a 125-mcg dosage. Therefore, the correct answer is C. It is important to take the correct strength of levothyroxine as prescribed by your doctor to effectively manage your thyroid hormone levels. If you are unsure about which color corresponds to your prescribed dosage, please consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
