Synthroid is a brand-name drug that contains the active ingredient levothyroxine sodium. Generic levothyroxine is available for purchase. Generic drugs are usually cheaper than their brand-name counterparts; however, your doctor may recommend that you use the brand-name drug.
Levothyroxine is the generic name and active ingredient of Synthroid (a brand-name medication manufactured by AbbVie Inc.). Other brand names for levothyroxine include Levoxyl, Unithroid, and Tirosint. These medications function similarly, but dosages, side effects, and drug interactions may differ. Your healthcare provider can help determine which thyroid medication is best for you.
Synthroid helps supplement thyroid hormone in people with hypothyroidism. It can also be used to help manage thyroid cancer. The thyroid hormone is essential for several functions in the body, including regulating metabolism, controlling heart rate, and managing muscle, brain, and bone development. Fatigue, constipation, dry skin, weight gain, slow heartbeat, and sensitivity to cold are some symptoms of low thyroid hormone levels.
The appropriate dosage of Synthroid should be personalized and determined by a healthcare provider. Tell your healthcare provider if you continue to experience symptoms of hypothyroidism while taking Synthroid. Your dosage may need to be adjusted.
Synthroid is approved for use in children and adults. It is usually taken daily on an empty stomach, around 30 minutes to one hour before breakfast. Eating too soon after taking Synthroid could interfere with the amount of thyroid hormone the body is able to absorb.
Thyroid medication can be expensive depending on which drug you're prescribed, your insurance coverage, and whether you qualify for additional financial assistance. However, the most influential factor in thyroid medication costs is the fact that thyroid treatment is a lifelong treatment.
If you are prescribed a brand-name drug, ask your healthcare provider if there is a cheaper, generic version available that you can take. Brand-name drugs are usually more expensive than generic drugs.
To save on your prescription, you can also search the SingleCare website or app for drug coupons. These coupons could save you up to 80% on your prescriptions.
Synthroid is available as a 25 mcg, 50 mcg, 75 mcg, 88 mcg, 100 mcg, 112 mcg, 125 mcg, 137 mcg, 150 mcg, 175 mcg, 200 mcg, or 300 mcg oral tablet. The dosage prescribed by a healthcare provider depends on several factors, such as age, body weight, other medical conditions you have, and other medications you’re taking. It may take four to six weeks of treatment to experience maximum benefits.
For children who are unable to swallow tablets, the tablet may be crushed and mixed with one to two teaspoons of water. The medicine can then be administered orally through a dropper or spoon. Synthroid should not be mixed with infant formula unless permitted by your child's pediatrician.
Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and medical advice when taking or administering this medication. Synthroid is typically prescribed as a long-term or lifelong treatment. Routine lab tests may be needed to monitor how well the medication is working for you.
Before taking Synthroid, discuss your current list of medications with your doctor. These include prescription medications, over-the-counter products, and even herbal supplements. Some medications, like antacids and diet supplements, can interfere with your body's absorption of the thyroid hormone.
Side effects that occur with Synthroid usually develop as a result of hyperthyroidism or too much thyroid hormone in the body. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include heart rhythm irregularities (arrhythmias), shortness of breath, headache, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, tremors, increased appetite, weight loss, diarrhea, and heat intolerance. You might also experience temporary hair loss in the first few months of taking Synthroid, but this side effect should subside as your body adjusts to the medication.
Allergic reactions are a rare but possible side effect of Synthroid. Signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction include itching, rash, flushing, fever, and shortness of breath. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction. Other serious side effects of Synthroid include heart attack, adrenal problems, changes in blood sugar, and changes in bone density.
This is not a complete list of side effects. Talk to a healthcare professional about other possible side effects, warnings, and drug interactions.
A change in appetite is a possible side effect of Synthroid. An increase in appetite is more likely to occur than a decrease in appetite with Synthroid. An increase in appetite may be caused by high doses of Synthroid, so consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual changes in appetite. How Synthroid affects your appetite depends on your thyroid hormone levels, the dosage of your Synthroid prescription, and how you respond to the medication.
Low thyroid hormone levels can slow metabolism, which may lead to weight gain. This is why people with an underactive or inactive thyroid commonly experience weight gain. Treatment for hypothyroidism balances thyroid hormone levels, which may result in weight loss for some people. However, Synthroid is not used as a weight-loss drug. Taking larger doses of Synthroid than normal may cause serious side effects.
For some people, weight gain is a possible side effect of Synthroid. Weight gain could result from an increase in appetite after taking Synthroid.
