Synthroid (Levothyroxine) Low Prices – Canadian Pharmacy Online

Description

SYNTHROID (Levothyroxine) is a medication used to treat hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism occurs when there is too little thyroid hormone in the body, which can cause a variety of symptoms that impact mood, weight, and body temperature.

The body may have too little thyroid for a number of reasons, including problems with the thyroid gland itself, problems with the pituitary gland — which send functional signals to the thyroid gland, differences in genetics (congenital), or acquisition with age.

SYNTHROID is a synthetic version of the thyroid hormone T4. The generic name is levothyroxine. SYNTHROID replaces T4 and is converted to active thyroid hormone, T3, in the body.

Directions

SYNTHROID dosages can range from 12.5 to 200 micrograms daily. Some people may require doses above this range.

SYNTHROID should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before a meal. Synthroid can be taken with water. Take SYNTHROID in the same manner each day, since food can timing can change how much is absorbed and impact the treatment.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in SYNTHROID is levothyroxine sodium.
