Levothyroxine is used to replace the natural hormone T4, which is produced by the thyroid gland in hypothyroidism. It consists in taking tablets that contain levothyroxine in a certain dose.
Treatment with levothyroxine usually begins with a high dose, which then gradually decreases until the optimal level of the hormone is reached. The duration of treatment depends on the patient's condition and can last a lifetime.
Side effects of levothyroxine may include fatigue, nervousness, sweating, weight gain, and other symptoms associated with thyroid hyperfunction. However, these side effects are usually reversible and go away after dose adjustment.
In general, levothyroxine is an effective and safe treatment for hypothyroidism. It allows you to restore normal thyroid function and improve the quality of life of patients.
