Treatment of hypothyroidism, replacement therapy after thyroidectomy or radioiodine therapy, suppression therapy in certain thyroid cancers/goitre as advised by doctor

Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of thyroid hormone (T4). It is converted in the body to T3, which regulates metabolism, energy, heart rate and growth, thereby correcting low thyroid hormone levels.

Take orally once daily as prescribed, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach 30–60 minutes before breakfast with water. Avoid taking with calcium/iron/antacids within 4 hours; take consistently at the same time each day and follow TSH monitoring.
