Levotiron

Levotiron is a thyroid hormone replacement medicine containing levothyroxine sodium. Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4), a hormone naturally produced by the thyroid gland.

It is primarily used to replace thyroid hormone in people with hypothyroidism. After administration, levothyroxine is converted in the body to the more active thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3), helping restore normal metabolic activity when thyroid hormone levels are insufficient.

Directions for Use

Take only as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. Levothyroxine is generally taken consistently on an empty stomach, with appropriate spacing from food and certain medicines or supplements that can reduce absorption.

Do not change the dose or discontinue treatment without medical advice. Regular thyroid blood tests may be required to adjust treatment.
