What Is Levothyroxine 100mcg?

Levothyroxine is a man-made version of thyroxine (T4), the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It is prescribed when the thyroid does not make enough hormone on its own, a condition called hypothyroidism. Taken consistently, levothyroxine helps restore normal hormone levels, which supports energy, metabolism, and body temperature regulation. It is one of the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States and is available as the brand Synthroid and as a generic.

Hypothyroidism after thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine therapy
Congenital hypothyroidism

Levothyroxine 100mcg Dosage

Frequently Asked Questions

What is levothyroxine used for?

Levothyroxine is a thyroid hormone replacement used mainly to treat hypothyroidism, when the thyroid gland does not make enough hormone. It is also used to manage certain goiters and, alongside surgery and radioiodine, some thyroid cancers.

How should I take levothyroxine 100mcg?

Take it once daily on an empty stomach with water, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Keep the timing consistent and separate it from calcium, iron, or antacids by at least 4 hours.

Do I need a prescription for levothyroxine?

Yes. Levothyroxine is a prescription-only medication in the United States. A licensed provider must review your health history and prescribe it before we can dispense your order.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you place your order and provide a valid prescription (or complete a provider review where available), our pharmacy team verifies it. Your medication then ships from a licensed U.S. pharmacy in discreet packaging.

Is levothyroxine the same as Synthroid?

Synthroid is a brand name for levothyroxine sodium; generic levothyroxine contains the same active ingredient. Your provider may recommend staying on the same product consistently, since small differences can affect thyroid lab values.

How long does levothyroxine take to work?

Some people notice improvement in symptoms within a few weeks, but full effects can take 4 to 6 weeks or longer. Your provider will check TSH labs periodically and adjust your dose as needed.

Can I stop taking levothyroxine if I feel better?

No — feeling better usually means the medication is working, and hypothyroidism typically requires lifelong treatment. Do not stop or change your dose without talking to your provider first.
