Levothyroxine is a synthetic thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism in animals. It is primarily prescribed for dogs but may also be used in other species with thyroid insufficiency.

Essential insights

  • Thyroid hormone replacement: Levothyroxine mimics natural thyroxine (T4), which is essential for normal metabolism and physiological functions.
  • Metabolic activation: In the body, levothyroxine is converted to triiodothyronine (T3), the active form that regulates cellular metabolism.
  • Prolonged effect: Due to its longer half-life compared to T3, levothyroxine provides more stable hormonal regulation.
    Levothyroxine selectively targets metabolic processes, making it a safe and effective treatment for hypothyroidism when dosed correctly.
