Buy Levothyroxine Tablets | Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy

Product Informations:

Levothyroxine is used in adults and children to treat hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid-a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone).
It is also used in adults along with surgery and radioactive iodine therapy to treat a type of thyroid cancer.

Indicated for the treatment of myxedema coma in adults.

Levothyroxine is in a class of medications called hormones. It works by replacing thyroid hormone normally produced by the body.

Without thyroid hormone, your body cannot operate correctly, and this might lead to poor growth, slow speech, lack of energy, excessive tiredness, constipation, weight gain, hair loss, dry thick skin, increased sensitivity to cold, joint and muscle pain, heavy or irregular menstrual periods, and depression. When taken correctly, levothyroxine reverses these symptoms.

How do I take levothyroxine?

Take levothyroxine exactly as directed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose.
Tablets and capsules
Take levothyroxine tablets and capsules on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, with a full glass of water. Take the medicine at the same time each day.
Swallow the capsule whole. Do not crush, chew, break, or open it. Tell your doctor if your child cannot swallow a capsule whole.

If you cannot swallow a tablet whole, crush the tablet and mix it with 1 or 2 teaspoons of water; take the mixture right away. Do not save it for later use.

Leave each tablet or capsule in the blister pack until you are ready to take one.

Storage:

Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.

What if I forget to take a dose?

Since you will receive levothyroxine injection in a medical setting, you are unlikely to miss a dose. Take the missed dose of oral levothyroxine as soon as you remember and then return to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose of levothyroxine on one day.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. A fatal overdose may occur. Overdose symptoms may include the following: headache, leg cramps, tremors, feeling nervous or irritable, chest pain, shortness of breath, fast or pounding heartbeats, stroke, and coma.
