Once absorbed, synthetic levothyroxine is indistinguishable from the endogenous hormone.Levothyroxine is nearly totally bound to serum proteins and has an elimination half-life of 6 to 7 days in the euthyroid subject. T3 is approximately 4 times as potent as T4 on a weight basis.The mechanism of action of thyroid hormones is not completely understood. Nonmedicinal ingredients: acacia powder, cornstarch, erythrosine, lactose and magnesium stearate.

A study has been conducted to compare the bioavailability of levothyroxine sodium oral solution and levothyroxine sodium soft capsule in healthy volunteers under fasting conditions. Adjustment of the levothyroxine dose, or cessation of the aluminum-containing medication may be necessary.Simultaneous ingestion of ferrous sulfate and levothyroxine causes a reduction in thyroxine efficacy. Methods: NIMO-TNE was prepared by mixing a nimodipine-polyethylene glycol 400 (NIMO-PEG400) solution and a commercially available 20% injectable blank nanoemulsion (BNE). In conclusion, although the bioavailability of LT4 is lower after administration of the suppository than after the oral formulation, it was suggested that T4 levels can be maintained in patients with hypothyroidism by administering LT4 suppositories at a dose 1.8 times higher than that of the tablet. Failure to respond adequately to dosages exceeding 300 to 400 µg/day is rare and should prompt re-evaluation of the diagnosis, or suggest the presence of malabsorption or patient noncompliance.For geriatric patients with hypothyroidism, the usual initial dosage is 12.5 to 50 µg once daily.
