Euthyrox 50mcg

Levothyroxine, the active ingredient in Euthyrox, is a synthetic thyroid hormone, which is identical to the natural thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4).

The human organism does not differentiate between natural T4 hormone and synthetic levothyroxine because of their identical effects.

Levothyroxine, also known as L-thyroxine, is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T₄). It is used to treat thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism), including a severe form known as myxedema coma. It may also be used to treat and prevent certain types of thyroid tumors. It is not indicated for weight loss. Levothyroxine is taken orally (by mouth) or given by intravenous injection. Levothyroxine has a half-life of 7.5 days when taken daily, so about six weeks is required for it to reach a steady level in the blood.
