Synthroid
Synthroid, also known as levothyroxine, is a thyroid hormone supplement used to treat low thyroid hormone levels or hypothyroidism. It is a synthetic form of the chemical thyroxine, to replace the levels unable to be obtained by the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland helps regulate the body's energy and metabolism. Synthriod is also used to treat goiter, which can happen when a person has hormone imbalances, radiation treatment, surgery or cancer. Synthroid should not be used to treat obesity or weight problems.
It is important to take Synthroid with a full glass of water. The Synthroid tablet may be able to dissolve really quickly in the throat causing the tablet to swell resulting in choking and possible asphyxiation. It should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach and you should not eat for 30 minutes after dosage. If a dosage is missed, take it as soon as remembered or if you are close to the next dosage, skip the missed one and continue on the regular schedule. Never take two doses at the same time.
Take the dose as prescribed everyday and do not stop suddenly even when feeling better unless otherwise told by your doctor.
