Synthroid
Synthroid is a medication that contains synthetic thyroid hormone (levothyroxine) used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. These hormones help regulate your body's energy, metabolism, and overall functioning. When taken as prescribed, Synthroid helps restore normal hormone levels, alleviating symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and cold sensitivity. It’s a long-term treatment and requires regular monitoring by a healthcare provider to ensure proper dosage. Essentially, Synthroid acts as a substitute for the missing or insufficient natural thyroid hormone, supporting your body's normal metabolic processes.
