Thyroxine Sodium I.P. 12.5 mcg is a low-dose thyroid hormone replacement therapy used to treat mild hypothyroidism or to initiate therapy in sensitive patients, such as the elderly or those with cardiovascular conditions.

This dosage is often prescribed for titration purposes, especially in newly diagnosed patients or those transitioning from a higher/lower dose. It ensures gradual correction of hormone deficiency without causing overstimulation.
