Levothyroxine (Synthroid or Euthyrox) – Side Effects, Uses, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Interaction
Levothyroxine, marketed under brand names like Synthroid and Euthyrox, is a synthetic thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism, often due to primary hypothyroidism, goiter, thyroid cancer, or as part of a thyroid suppression test. It replaces or supplements thyroxine (T4), converting to the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3) in the body, thereby regulating metabolism and energy. Typical adult dosage starts at 50-100 micrograms daily, adjusted based on thyroid function tests. Side effects include weight loss, tremors, and nervousness, while serious effects may involve chest pain and irregular heartbeat. Levothyroxine interacts with antacids, calcium, iron supplements, and certain foods like soy and high-fiber items. It is generally safe during pregnancy but requires caution in patients with cardiovascular disease and long-term use may affect bone density. Regular blood tests are crucial for monitoring.
