LEVOXYL |
| Description: |
Levothyroxine is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the thyroid. It is important for normal energy and metabolism. For a variety of reasons, the body may not produce enough of this hormone on its own. In these cases, levothyroxine is taken to replace the body's natural thyroid hormone.
Levothyroxine is used to treat hypothyroidism (low thyroid function). Levothyroxine is also used to prevent and treat goiter (growth or enlargement of the thyroid gland). Causes of goiter include hormonal imbalances, radiation, surgery, and cancer.
Levothyroxine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide. |
