Levothyroxine is a prescription prescription medication used to treat hypothyroidism by replacing the thyroid hormone that your body cannot make on its own.
- Replaces missing thyroxine (T4) to restore normal hormone balance.
- Improves energy, metabolism, body temperature, and mood.
- Lowers thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in specific types of thyroid cancer treatment.
- Take it once a day on an empty stomach, usually first thing in the morning with a full glass of water.
- Wait 30 to 60 minutes before eating or drinking anything else.
- Separate calcium, iron supplements, and dairy products from your dose by at least four hours, as they block absorption.
- High doses can cause symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, chest pain, nervousness, tremors, and weight loss.
- Regular blood tests are required to check your TSH levels and confirm you are on the right dose.
- You can view official safety alerts through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding medication guides and safety notices.
- Are you starting a new prescription or adjusting a current dose?
- Do you have any specific questions about side effects or timing your meals?
