Description

Levothyroxine sodium is a thyroid hormone that is used to treat hypothyroidism. It is also used to treat goiter and other thyroid problems. Levothyroxine sodium comes in three different forms: tablets, oral solution, and levothyroxine sodium for injection. The tablet form of levothyroxine sodium is taken by mouth once daily with or without food. Oral solution is taken by mouth twice daily (morning and evening) with or without food. Injection should be given as directed by a physician or healthcare provider. Levothyroxine sodium can interact with many drugs, especially ones that affect the heart or blood sugar levels, such as potassium supplements, diuretics, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, erythromycin, clarithromycin and ketoconazole. Levothyroxine sodium can also interact with certain foods such as soybean flour and grapefruit juice. Levothyroxine sodium has been shown to have a linear calibration curve in vivo
