Thyro-Tabs (levothyroxine) treat hypothyroidism. This medication is a synthetic hormone used as a replacement therapy in conditions in which the thyroid gland is not producing an adequate amount of hormones. Synthetic thyroxine (levothyroxine) works much like the naturally occurring thyroxine to maintain normal metabolism in the body. Proper levels of thyroid hormones have significant beneficial effects on brain, heart, muscle, nerve, and kidney function.

Dogs (Used in cats in certain circumstances)

How it works
