Get levothyroxine (generic Synthroid) prescriptions online for hypothyroidism.

Levothyroxine is a prescription medication used to treat thyroid conditions. It is a hormone replacement drug usually prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which the body does not produce enough thyroid hormone to properly regulate your metabolism and weight. Levothyroxine may also be prescribed to help treat thyroid cancer.

Hypothyroidism affects almost 5% of the U.S. population. Without the proper amount of thyroid hormone, people with hypothyroidism often suffer from fatigue, poor growth, constipation, weight gain, hair loss, muscle pain, depression, and more.

Levothyroxine is generally used to treat thyroid conditions, including hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer.

The thyroid is often referred to as the body’s thermostat; it produces thyroid hormone, the chemical responsible for stabilizing your weight, regulating your metabolism, and maintaining your mental health. People with hypothyroidism can no longer produce this hormone in sufficient quantities, causing a range of health conditions from depression to weight gain. For patients with hypothyroidism, levothyroxine is prescribed to supply the body with the level of thyroid hormone it needs. Levothyroxine supplements - and in some cases, completely replaces - your body’s diminished supply of thyroid hormone, helping you feel like yourself again.

Alongside surgery and radioiodine therapy, levothyroxine is sometimes prescribed to help treat thyroid cancer.

There are some thyroid conditions, however, that levothyroxine is not approved to treat. These include benign thyroid nodules, goiters, and subacute thyroiditis.

While levothyroxine may cause you to experience some adverse side effects, it is important to remember that your doctor prescribed levothyroxine because its ability to stabilize thyroid hormones in your body outweighs the side effects it may produce.

You may experience some hair loss as you begin taking levothyroxine. This is temporary and does not generally persist as you continue taking levothyroxine.

Rare but serious side effects may include:

Arrhythmias Myocardial infarction (heart attack) Dyspnea Muscle spasm Headache Nervousness Irritability Insomnia Tremors Muscle weakness Increased appetite Weight loss Diarrhea Heat intolerance Menstrual irregularities Skin rash
