Uses & Benefits
Treatment of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), thyroid hormone replacement after thyroidectomy or radioiodine therapy, TSH suppression in certain thyroid cancers/goitre (as prescribed)
How It Works
Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4), a natural thyroid hormone. It is converted in the body to the active hormone T3 and helps regulate metabolism, energy levels, heart rate and body temperature, correcting low thyroid hormone levels.
Directions for Use
Oral tablet. Take once daily on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning 30–60 minutes before breakfast with water. Take at the same time each day; avoid taking with calcium/iron/antacids—keep a 4-hour gap. Dose is individualized based on TSH and clinical response.
Use only under medical supervision with periodic TSH monitoring. Overdose/over-replacement can cause hyperthyroidism, arrhythmias, angina, and bone loss; caution in elderly and those with heart disease, hypertension or arrhythmias. Not for weight loss/obesity treatment. If adrenal insufficiency is suspected, it should be treated before starting levothyroxine. Separate from interfering medicines and supplements as advised.
