I have three dosages. .1mg is yellow, .025mg is peachy-pink, and .125 is tan. I did have a little chart I got from the doctor that pictured all the different colors and the dosages.

Does anyone out there know if the different colors of synthroid medication indicate the strength
of the dosage. I think 1 mg. is yellow, but what are the other colors and strengths?

I looked it up in the PDR (Physician’s Desk Reference) and it seems like the colors are common
but are also specific to brand name. Here’s what I found out:

Levothyioxine:

light pink (peach) 25 mcg
white 50 mcg
purple (dark) 75 mcg
yellow 100 mcg
beige 125 mcg
blue 150 mcg
pink (dark) 200 mcg
green 300 mcg

Synthroid:

peach 25 mcg
white 50 mcg
purple (dark) 75 mcg
green (seafoam) 88 mcg
yellow 100 mcg
pink (dark) 112 mcg
beige 125 mcg
blue 150 mcg
purple (bright) 175 mcg
coral 200 mcg
green 300 mcg

hope this helps….Carolyn
