Levothyroxine Sodium is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) used for hormone replacement therapy in patients with hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone deficiency, or after thyroidectomy. It restores normal thyroid hormone levels, regulating metabolism, growth, and energy production, and is orally active with a predictable pharmacokinetic profile.
Levothyroxine Sodium acts as a thyroid hormone agonist, mimicking the effects of endogenous T4. It is converted to the active hormone T3 in peripheral tissues through deiodination, which then regulates gene expression controlling metabolic rate, protein synthesis, and growth. This activity helps maintain normal energy metabolism and organ function in patients with hypothyroidism.
