What does a “125 mcg” levothyroxine pill look like?
The “125 mcg” label usually refers to the strength (125 micrograms) of levothyroxine, but the exact look (color, shape, imprint) depends on the manufacturer and the specific tablet design. To identify it reliably, you need the tablet’s imprint code(s) or an image of the pill.
Look for:
- Letters or numbers stamped on the tablet (the “imprint”)
- Any scoring line (and where it is)
- Color and shape (round, oval, capsule-shaped)
- Any manufacturer abbreviation
How to identify it safely: check the imprint code
The safest way to identify a levothyroxine tablet is to match the imprint exactly. If you can provide the imprint (for example, something like “AB12” or “125” plus letters), you can narrow it down to the correct product.
If you’re not sure:
- Don’t rely on color alone (different manufacturers can use similar colors).
- Don’t assume “125” always means levothyroxine—other drugs can have similar strength markings.
What information should you share so I can pinpoint the exact pill?
Reply with any of the following (whatever you have):
- Imprint text on the tablet (all letters/numbers exactly as shown)
- Pill color
- Shape (round/oval/capsule/oblong)
- Whether it’s scored (and which side shows the score)
- Any packaging details (manufacturer name or NDC number)
Quick check: is it really levothyroxine?
If you have the prescription bottle, the bottle label usually confirms:
- Medication name (levothyroxine)
- Strength (125 mcg)
- Manufacturer
- NDC number (often the most precise identifier)
If you can share the imprint or a photo, I can help you map it to the most likely levothyroxine 125 mcg tablet.
