WARNING: NOT FOR TREATMENT OF OBESITY OR FOR WEIGHT LOSS
Thyroid hormones, including levothyroxine sodium, should not be used for the treatment of obesity or for weight loss. Doses beyond daily hormonal requirements may cause serious or life-threatening toxicity.
Do not use if you have uncorrected adrenal insufficiency. Inform your provider if you have heart disease, arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, adrenal or pituitary disorders, or diabetes.
Levothyroxine should be taken once daily on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, with a full glass of water. Do not take within 4 hours of iron, calcium, antacids, or certain supplements. Biotin supplements should be discontinued at least 2 days prior to thyroid lab testing.
Ongoing provider supervision and routine laboratory monitoring are required to ensure appropriate dosing. Dose adjustments may be necessary during pregnancy, with aging, or with changes in cardiovascular status.
Medical Disclaimer: Levothyroxine is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Dosage is individualized based on your thyroid hormone levels, lab results, and medical history. Regular blood tests are essential to monitor your response to treatment and adjust your dosage accordingly.
