Thyroid Health
This category covers medicines that correct thyroid hormone levels, whether the thyroid is underactive (too little hormone) or overactive (too much). The dose is guided by blood tests. Treatment is guided by blood tests, and both directions, too little hormone and too much, are corrected with opposite medicines.
Levothroid
25 · 50mcg
Levothyroxine 25mcg and 50mcg tablets, used in the management of hypothyroidism and thyroid-stimulating hormone suppression. Synthetic T4.
From$0.15/ tabletView
Key points
- Treatment corrects a measured hormone level, so dosing follows blood tests rather than symptoms alone.
- Replacement for an underactive thyroid and blocking drugs for an overactive one are opposite treatments.
- Levothyroxine absorption is affected by food and by other medicines, which is why timing is specified.
Classes and ingredients in this category
- Thyroid replacement with levothyroxine and liothyronine for an underactive thyroid.
- Antithyroid drugs such as carbimazole and thiamazole for an overactive thyroid.
Conditions it covers
These medicines are used for hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Levels are rechecked after any dose change, so this is monitored treatment rather than a fixed prescription.
