What is Levothyroxine?

Levothyroxine (generic for Synthroid), also called Euthyrox, Levoxyl, Tirosint, and Unithroid is a prescription drug used to treat chronic thyroid conditions. It is a synthetic version of the human hormone thyroxine (T4). It is a T4 replacement medicine often prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which an underactive thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones to properly regulate your metabolism and weight. Levothyroxine has the same physiological effect as  the naturally occurring T4 that is produced by the thyroid gland and it helps maintain normal thyroid hormone levels in the setting of a T4 deficiency. About 80% of the Levothyroxine ingested is absorbed from the digestive tract. The Levothyroxine is then broken down by the liver to the active form of T4. Regular monitoring T4 and TSH levels through lab tests can help determine the effectiveness of the treatment. Liothyronine, the counterpart to Levothyroxine, is a synthetic T3 hormone replacement medicine. Sometimes Liothyronine can be used alone or in combination to treat hypothyroid conditions. Both synthetic hormones (T4 and T3) are found in Armour Thyroid medication. 

Levothyroxine prescription can sometimes also be used to treat goiters (enlarged thyroid glands) and even some types of thyroid cancer.

Hypothyroidism can be caused by autoimmune conditions, congenital conditions, injury to the thyroid gland through radiation therapy, radioiodine therapy, or other medications or surgical removal of the thyroid gland.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include constipation, weight gain, slow speech, hair loss, lack of energy, excessive tiredness, dry or thick skin, increased sensitivity to cold, muscle aches and joint pain, heavy or irregular menstrual periods and depression. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, talk to your healthcare provider who can help determine if you need to be treated for hypothyroidism with Levothyroxine, which is the prescription medication of choice in treating thyroid conditions.

Levothyroxine: How to use it

Levothyroxine can be available as tablets, capsules and in liquid form. Doses can range from 25 mcg to 300 mcg. It is typically administered orally as a single dose 30 minutes to one hour before breakfast on an empty stomach each morning. Inactive ingredients of Levothyroxine include acacia, confectioner’s sugar and magnesium stearate. If it is prescribed to you in the capsule form, the capsules should be swallowed whole without chewing or crushing. Your healthcare provider will determine the dose of the Levothyroxine by the degree of deficiency as indicated by your blood test results. It can take up to six weeks before it reaches its full therapeutic effect so it is important to take it consistently every day. The generic Levothyroxine tablets are usually more affordable compared to its other forms. Levothyroxine 25 mcg tablets, for example, can cost 15 cents per tablet at the pharmacies. 

Please be sure never to take more than the dosage you were prescribed, as taking too much Levothyroxine can cause reactions similar to hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland), which can lead to severe symptoms.

Always remember to read the information and instructions provided with the medication carefully before taking this medication and follow your doctor’s directions. 

If you’ve had a history of adrenal gland problems, heart disease, angina (chest pain), diabetes, kidney disease,  liver disease, blood vessel disease or blood clotting disorders, you will need to do talk to your doctor before taking Levothyroxine.
