L-T4 (Levothyroxine)

Levothyroxine (L-T4) is a medication used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones. These hormones are essential for regulating metabolism, energy, and overall body functions. Taking L-T4 helps restore normal hormone levels, alleviating symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and depression. It’s usually taken once daily and requires regular monitoring to ensure proper dosage. Proper management of L-T4 can improve quality of life and prevent complications associated with thyroid hormone deficiency.
