/lˈɛvəθˌɪɹəksˌaɪn/

Levothyroxine

a synthetic thyroid hormone used to treat hypothyroidism and other thyroid-related conditions

Examples

1. The most common thyroid hormone is called levothyroxine.

2. Yes, and clearly the labs were wrong, and the levothyroxine clearly makes sense.

3. But perhaps we started using levothyroxine in other conditions that they have nothing to do with abnormal thyroid levels.

4. Is there a danger to being on levothyroxine or other thyroid hormone if you don't need to be?
