Levothyroxine generic name, cost, uses,side effects, warnings

Generic Synthroid (generic for Levothyroxine) is a prescription drug used to treat thyroid conditions. It is a hormone replacement drug often prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which your thyroid does not properly produce enough thyroid hormone to regulate your metabolism and weight. In some cases, levothyroxine is used as part of thyroid cancer treatment plans. Generic Synthroid is a brand-name prescription medication. It’s FDA-approved for use in people with hypothyroidism and in people with a certain type of thyroid cancer. Below, we briefly describe these conditions.

Generic Synthroid raises levels of thyroid hormones in patients with hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, and certain types of goiters. It can also be used to treat infertility that’s caused by low thyroid hormone levels. The thyroid hormone is important to adults for maintaining mental and physical activity, but it's also imperative to children's development. Generic Synthroid has been approved for use in children and adults.

Fatigue, aches and pains, constipation, dry skin, weight gain, slow heartbeat, and sensitivity to cold are some symptoms of low thyroid hormone levels. Tell your doctor if you continue to experience these symptoms while taking Generic Synthroid. He or she may need to adjust your dose or try a different thyroid medication.

Working

Generic Synthroid belongs to a class of drugs called hormones. A class of drugs is a group of medications that work in a similar way. These drugs are often used to treat similar conditions. Generic Synthroid works by providing the thyroid hormone that your thyroid gland would produce if it were working normally.

Generic Synthroid is a man-made form of thyroxin, a hormone that is produced naturally in the body by the thyroid gland.

Generic Synthroid replaces missing thyroxin in people whose thyroid glands do not produce enough thyroxin naturally.

Thyroid hormones (such as thyroxin) play a vital role in our normal growth and development, and the maturation of our brain, spinal cord, nerves, and bone. Thyroid hormones help cells to function and are also involved in their breakdown. They also help regulate our moods, reproductive function, metabolism, and gastrointestinal function.

Generic Synthroid is generally taken life-long when used to treat hypothyroidism (low thyroid levels) unless the cause is transient.

 

Dosage

The Generic Synthroid dosage your doctor prescribes will depend on several factors. These include:

  • the type and severity of the condition you're using Synthroid to treat
  • your age
  • your body weight
  • other medications that you're taking
  • other medical conditions you may have

Typically, your doctor will start you on a low dosage. Then they'll adjust it over time to reach the amount that's right for you. For your dosage, your doctor will calculate the smallest dose that provides the desired effect.

 

Precautions

Thyroid hormone occurs naturally in the body and because of this reason, anyone can take Generic Synthroid or Generic Levothyroxine sodium. However, there are people with certain conditions that may not be able to take this medication. Inform your doctor about your medical history and if you have a thyroid disorder called thyrotoxicosis, heart disease, diabetes, anemia, osteoporosis, etc. This medication should not be used for weight loss. This medication is safe to use while you are pregnant. It is also safe to use while you are breast-feeding a baby. This medication passes into breast milk, but it is not expected to be harmful to a nursing infant. Inform your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment. You may need to increase your dose during pregnancy or if you plan to breast-feed. In most cases, you will need to take this medication for the rest of your life. Taking Generic Synthroid over long periods of time may cause bone loss, which can lead to osteoporosis. There may be a drug interaction between Generic Levothyroxine and other medications such as warfarin, digoxin, and sucroferric oxyhydroxide.
