Levothyroxine is a medication used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. It is a artificial form of thyroxine, which is a hormone normally produced by the thyroid gland. Levothyroxine works by replacing or providing thyroid hormone to control the body's metabolism and energy levels. This medication is commonly prescribed to manage symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and cold sensitivity caused by low thyroid hormone production. Levothyroxine needs careful monitoring of thyroid hormone levels through blood tests to ensure proper dosage adjustments. It is also typically taken long-term to maintain thyroid hormone balance in the body.
