What is Levoxyl ?

Levothyroxine Sodium is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, used primarily in the treatment of hypothyroidism to restore normal metabolic activity. By supplementing low levels of natural thyroid hormone, it helps regulate energy and metabolism, alleviating symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and depression. It's also used to prevent goiter and manage certain types of thyroid cancer, provided under careful medical supervision to achieve the desired hormonal balance.
