Thyroid hormones are essential for maintaining a healthy body weight, preventing hair loss, and maintaining mental health. During the initial stages of puberty, the thyroid produces two important hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones play a crucial role in regulating metabolism, heart rate, and other essential functions. When these hormones are deficiency or excess, thyroid hormone deficiency leads to various medical conditions, including low thyroid hormone levels.
Thyroid hormone replacement therapy (THRST) aims to restore natural thyroid hormone levels by replacing the amount of thyroid hormone that has passed from the thyroid gland. This therapy aims to restore the balance of thyroid hormones, providing a solution for managing various conditions associated with low thyroid hormone levels.
There are several effective synthetic formulations of thyroid hormones, including levothyroxine, liothyronine, and the synthetic analogs of and. These formulations help maintain optimal thyroid hormone levels by replacing the amount of thyroid hormone that has passed from the thyroid gland.
Thyroid hormones help regulate metabolism, resulting in a balanced diet, increased exercise routines, and improved mental health. One of the most effective ways to restore thyroid hormone levels is through THRST therapy. A synthetic form of levothyroxine (T4) and its generic counterpart (T3) work similarly and can be administered to the patient as prescribed.
The effectiveness of levothyroxine tablets and the generic levothyroxine levothyroxine tablets is supported by several clinical studies. A large meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials showed that both formulations are bioequivalent, with similar safety and efficacy profiles. Additionally, levothyroxine is also bioequivalent to its branded counterpart, liothyronine, with similar bioequivalence compared to liothyronine.
The effectiveness of both formulations is influenced by the dosage and the patient’s weight. For patients who have a larger dose, levothyroxine can be prescribed as low as 25 mcg daily. For patients with a smaller dose, levothyroxine can be prescribed as low as 50 mcg daily. This dosage adjustment ensures that the effectiveness of both formulations remains the same.
The UK Health & Wellbeing Authority (UKWA) has approved several formulations of thyroid hormones. These formulations are:
Liothyronine is one of the most commonly prescribed formulations of thyroid hormones. Known by its generic name levothyroxine, this medication contains the active ingredient triiodothyronine. It’s widely used to treat conditions such as:
T3 is another commonly prescribed formulation of thyroid hormones.
T4 is another commonly prescribed formulation of thyroid hormones.
The US FDA has approved Thyroid Hormone Replacement (THRST) as an alternative to replace synthetic levothyroxine. The US FDA approves THRST if the patient is:

While levothyroxine is not currently FDA-approved for use in pregnancy, it is sometimes used in combination with thyroid hormone replacement therapy. For example, thyroid hormone replacement therapy can be used to treat Hashimoto's Disease in patients with hypothyroidism.
When used in pregnancy, levothyroxine is also not approved for use in the treatment of hypothyroidism. This is because levothyroxine may also be used to treat other conditions that are outside of the approved indication for the medication.
Synthroid is not currently FDA-approved for use in the treatment of hypothyroidism. This is because it may be used to treat conditions that are outside of the approved indication for the medication.
If you are pregnant and have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism by your healthcare provider, your doctor may advise that you take Synthroid. If you are planning pregnancy, your doctor may also recommend that you take Synthroid during your treatment with levothyroxine.
The most common side effects of Synthroid in pregnancy are dry mouth, decreased appetite, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, and increased heart rate.
Synthroid tablets 100mcg are used to treat hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid, a condition in which the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone (thyroxine) needed to regulate your body’s growth and metabolism. Hypothyroidism can be idiopathic (of unknown cause) or congenital as in the case of the autoimmune disease Hashimoto's thyroiditis, where the thyroid gland is destroyed by the immune system; it can also be the result of thyroid surgery. Synthroid tablets 100mcg are also used to treat thyroid goitre, which is an enlarged thyroid gland caused by extreme growth of thyroid tissue to compensate for lack of thyroid hormone; also to treat thyroid cancer. Synthroid tablets 100mcg are a replacement hormone to relieve the symptoms of hypothyroidism, including, tiredness, muscle weakness, cramps, feeling the cold, a slow heart rate, dry and flaky skin, hair loss, a deep husky voice and weight gain.
