What Is Levothyroxine 25mcg?
Levothyroxine is a man-made version of thyroxine (T4), a hormone naturally produced by the thyroid gland. When the thyroid does not make enough hormone, symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and dry skin can develop. Taking levothyroxine daily restores normal hormone levels, and most people take it long term under a provider's supervision. The 25mcg strength is a lower dose often used when starting treatment or fine-tuning therapy based on lab results.
