Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It mimics endogenous T4, which is converted to triiodothyronine (T3) intracellularly, helping to restore normal metabolic levels in patients with deficient production.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Essential during pregnancy. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
Levothroid is a tablet containing levothyroxine, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It comes in strengths of 25mcg and 50mcg and is used in the management of hypothyroidism and thyroid-stimulating hormone suppression. AbbVie is the originator company, and the medicine also appears under the names Eltroxin, Levothyrox and Thyronorm.
Inside the body, levothyroxine is converted to triiodothyronine (T3) and helps restore normal metabolic levels where the thyroid produces too little hormone. Effects build over 2 to 4 weeks, and each dose lasts around 24 hours. Levothyroxine has a narrow therapeutic index and should not be used for obesity or weight loss; larger amounts can cause serious toxicity.
