l-thyroxine

levothyroxine is used to treat an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). it replaces or provides more thyroid hormone, which is normally produced by the thyroid gland. low thyroid hormone levels can occur naturally or when the thyroid gland is injured by radiation/medications or removed by surgery.
aving enough thyroid hormone is important for maintaining normal mental and physical activity.
in children, having enough thyroid hormone is important for normal mental and physical development.
this medication is also used to treat other types of thyroid disorders (such as certain types of goiters, thyroid cancer).
this medication should not be used to treat infertility unless it is caused by low thyroid hormone levels.

l-thyroxine general dosing recommendations

when azilect is prescribed as monotherapy or as adjunct therapy in patients not taking levodopa, patients may start azilect at the recommended dose of 1 mg administered orally once daily.
in patients taking levodopa, with or without other pd drugs (e.g., dopamineagonist, amantadine, anticholinergics), the recommended initial dose of azilect is 0.5 mg once daily. if the patient tolerates the daily 0.5 mg dose, but a sufficient clinical response is not achieved, the dose may be increased to 1 mg once daily. when azilect is used in combination with levodopa, a reduction of the levodopa dose may be considered, based upon individual response.

the recommended doses of azilect should not be exceeded because of risk of hypertension [see warnings and precautions].
