Overview
What is Synthroid?
Synthroid is an oral thyroid hormone replacement medication that contains the synthetic thyroxine hormone (T4) and the synthetic form of the hormone, T3. Levothyroxine is a brand name for the drug Synthroid. Synthroid is available in both brand-name and generic forms. Synthroid is used to treat hypothyroidism and other conditions that interfere with the body's ability to produce thyroid hormones. It works by reducing the amount of thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) and is available in both brand-name and generic forms. The medication works by replacing the thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It is a synthetic version of the human hormone thyroxine (T4) in the body. It works to restore the body's ability to produce thyroid hormone, helping to restore normal function. It is essential to note that Synthroid and Levothyroxine do not work together and must be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Both medications may have side effects or interactions with other medications. It is important to talk to your doctor about all of the potential side effects and interactions with other medications you may be taking.
This drug is manufactured in generic form. The active ingredient is T4. T4 is a synthetic thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy is prescribed for the treatment of hypothyroidism. This drug is used for the treatment of hyperthyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels). This is the first drug for the treatment of hyperthyroidism to be approved for use in Ireland. It is also used to treat thyroid cancer. It is a brand name for Synthroid. Synthroid is available in the form of tablets and capsules.
The dosage is one tablet and one capsule, and the treatment is given in the form of a liquid. It is used to replace the thyroid hormone that is needed for the body's needs. The usual starting dose is one tablet per day, but some patients may start with several tablets per day. It is recommended to start with one tablet per day, then adjust to two tablets per day. Patients who do not respond to treatment may adjust their dose to three tablets per day. Some patients may start with one tablet per day and adjust their dose to four tablets per day. It is important to tell your doctor if you have or have ever had a thyroid cancer. It may be that the dose you are prescribed is too high or too low.
The drug levothyroxine is available in the form of a tablet and capsule. It contains the active ingredient T4, which is a synthetic thyroid hormone. It is important to take the drug at the same time each day. It is normally taken by mouth as a whole. It is also used to treat hypothyroidism, which is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This condition is diagnosed with a hormone called thyroxine (T4) deficiency. The drug works by replacing the thyroid hormone needed for the body's needs.
The recommended starting dose is one tablet per day. Patients who have a deficiency of thyroid hormone may need to adjust the dose gradually to a total of four tablets per day. It is important to tell your doctor if you have or have ever had thyroid cancer. It is important to tell your doctor if you have or have ever had cancer.

This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of levothyroxine sodium (Lithobid) versus thyroid hormone replacement. Lithobid was given as a tablet (2.5, 7, or 28 mcg) to patients with hypothyroidism. Patients were treated with thyroid hormone replacement (25 mcg/day) for 3 years for levothyroxine sodium, at least 8 weeks, then again at least 1 year and then every other year for 2 years. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either levothyroxine sodium (5 mcg/day) or placebo. Lithobid was given twice daily for 6 months and then every other month. Treatment length and symptom severity were measured every 4 weeks with a 5-point visual analog scale (VAS). Results showed a significant difference in mean VAS score between Lithobid and placebo. This study showed that levothyroxine sodium reduced the incidence of hypothyroidism, which was significantly lower than those for other levothyroxine products, including Synthroid (3.1% vs 0.6%, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences in the other clinical endpoints. The results indicated that levothyroxine sodium significantly reduces the incidence of hypothyroidism, and this effect is more likely to occur with long-term use of Lithobid.
This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of levothyroxine sodium. It was conducted in a teaching hospital. Patients were randomized to receive either levothyroxine sodium (5 mcg/day) or placebo. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of hypothyroidism, which was measured at the beginning of the study and continued throughout the study. Secondary outcomes were the incidence of hypothyroidism, the change in VAS scores from baseline to the end of the study, and the incidence of weight gain.Patients were treated with levothyroxine sodium (5 mcg/day) for 3 years, followed by levothyroxine sodium (2.5 mcg/day) for 8 years. Patients were randomly assigned to receive levothyroxine sodium (5 mcg/day) or placebo. Treatment length was measured at the beginning of the study and continued throughout the study. The primary end point was incidence of hypothyroidism, which was measured at the beginning of the study and continued throughout the study. Secondary end points included changes in VAS scores from baseline to the end of the study and the incidence of weight gain. All other end points were analyzed with an intent-to-treat (ITT) or non-inferiority (NE) approach.Patients were randomized to either levothyroxine sodium (5 mcg/day) or placebo. Patients were randomly assigned to levothyroxine sodium (5 mcg/day) or placebo. There were no statistically significant differences in the other clinical end points. The incidence of hypothyroidism, the change in VAS score from baseline to the end of the study and the incidence of weight gain was evaluated using the intent-to-treat (ITT) or non-inferiority (NE) approach.The primary end point was the incidence of hypothyroidism, which was measured at the beginning of the study and continued throughout the study. All other end points were evaluated with an intent-to-treat (ITT) or non-inferiority (NE) approach.A total of 1,500 pharmacies in the U. S. in 2014 accounted for about 10% of the estimated US pharmacy population.1 A recent study, conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, found that the retail pharmacy population in the United States for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased from 6.2% in 2014 to 9.8% in 2014.2
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a safety advisory about the safety of Synthroid.2
In addition to the safety issue, a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAAMA) found that the total number of people prescribed Synthroid increased by 2.6% from January 2013 to April 2014.3

The drug is available as an oral tablet and oral liquid form.3
A recent FDA safety study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAAMA) found that Synthroid is no better than levothyroxine, an alternative to the FDA’s “lifestyle” prescription drug for the treatment of hypothyroidism, Levoxyl®.3
The FDA has determined that Synthroid does not meet the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendation for levothyroxine.3
Synthroid is also not FDA approved for the treatment of hypothyroidism, but it’s not FDA approved for hypothyroidism because it’s not FDA approved for the treatment of other conditions.

Close1400 messages Sherry I recently removed the Synthroid and I had a few issues. I had some muscle issues, the medicine dose was reduced. I did get a refill and I will be ordering a refill now. If it is not available yet, I will contact my pharmacist and they will suggest another pharmacy.
Sherry,
Thank you for your reply. I will be ordering a refill now. I will contact my pharmacist to make sure it is available or available yet.
Sally,
I was just wondering, can you advise me if you would be willing to pay more for Synthroid than what I am allowed to receive for it? I do not have any discounts on it. I have had a few problems with my medication, but not with Synthroid.
I've seen some online, they say it can be purchased, what about if Synthroid is not available?
Thank you all for your reply. I will be getting a refill now. I will contact my pharmacist and they will be able to give me more information.
If anyone else has any experience with Synthroid, what should I expect or advise me about?
A lot of people will say to me, “it works great, but I don’t feel I needed it.” But if they say it “did nothing,” it's probably a good idea to call or go to a pharmacy. I'll contact the pharmacist or see if I can get a refill.I was just thinking about Synthroid, the generic version and I have not found it to be the best option for me.
Thanks
A lot for responding!
Thank you all for your thoughts,
I have no experience with it, I just found out about it from my doctor. I also found out from a friend who is also a pharmacist, that Synthroid is a "preferred" drug for a number of reasons, some for a better experience and some for keeping costs down.
I just wanted to share some of the information I have and that my doctor has given me.
I am also a woman who works in a pharmacy, but is in a pharmacy for a medical condition I am not currently dealing with.
