Patient summary
Levothyroxine tablets from 25 to 200 micrograms for an underactive thyroid, the ingredient of Synthroid.
Mechanism of action
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.
Synthroid is a tablet form of levothyroxine, a synthetic thyroxine (T4). It is supplied in strengths of 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 200mcg. It is used to treat hypothyroidism and for thyroid-stimulating hormone suppression.
Levothyroxine replaces the T4 the thyroid gland would normally make. Inside cells it is converted to triiodothyronine (T3), which helps restore normal metabolic levels where production is deficient. The medicine has a narrow therapeutic index, so the gap between a suitable amount and too much is small. It must not be used for weight loss or to treat obesity, and it is not for people with untreated thyrotoxicosis or adrenal insufficiency.
