Hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone replacement, initiation/titration dose in elderly or cardiac patients (as prescribed)
How It Works
Levothyroxine provides synthetic T4 hormone which the body converts to T3. It replaces deficient thyroid hormone and helps normalize metabolic activity and TSH levels.
Directions for Use
Take once daily on an empty stomach with water, 30-60 minutes before breakfast, or at bedtime 3-4 hours after food (consistent routine). Keep 4-hour gap from calcium/iron/antacids. Follow doctor-directed dose titration based on TSH.
Side Effects
Palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, tremor, headache, sweating, diarrhea, weight loss (usually with excess dose)
Warnings & Precautions
Dose is individualized; too high a dose can cause chest pain, arrhythmias, or bone loss. Use caution in coronary artery disease, hypertension, elderly, and adrenal insufficiency. Monitor TSH regularly; avoid abrupt discontinuation or brand switching without guidance.
