What is Synthroid?
Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium) is a synthetic form of thyroxine (T4), a hormone naturally produced by the thyroid gland. T4 is essential for regulating the body’s metabolism, energy production, and overall hormonal balance. Synthroid is prescribed primarily to treat conditions related to an underactive thyroid gland, including hypothyroidism, goiter, and thyroid cancer.
Synthroid comes in tablet form, in a wide range of dosage strengths to allow precise dosing. Each strength is color-coded to prevent confusion and dosing errors. It is taken on an empty stomach at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, as food can interfere with the absorption of Synthroid. Regular blood tests are necessary to monitor thyroid hormone levels and adjust the dosage if needed.
What Does Simplefill Provide?
Hypothyroidism causes not only physical symptoms but also depression, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating, which collectively can hinder daily activities, work performance, and social interactions. Left untreated, hypothyroidism can cause such long-term problems as elevated cholesterol levels, heart disease, infertility, and, in severe cases can lead to myxedema coma, a life-threatening condition. The costs associated with medical appointments, frequent lab tests, and medications can add financial strain to the mix.
Managing any chronic medical condition requiring potentially costly medication for years or decades can be financially draining, particularly for those who are uninsured, under-insured, or simply lacking in financial resources. Prescription assistance is available if you know how to find it, and we do. Simplefill works to increase public awareness of the existence of prescription assistance programs and connects patients in need of help with their prescription costs with the programs that can provide it.
How Does Synthroid Work?
The thyroid gland controls how fast or slow the body’s systems work. When the thyroid doesn’t produce enough hormones, everything slows down: metabolism slows, energy drops, and body temperature lowers. Synthroid helps normalize metabolism, reduces fatigue and increases alertness, improves mood and cognitive function, supports heart rate, digestion, muscle control, and brain development. In simple terms, Synthroid replaces the missing hormone your body needs to function properly, helping you feel more like yourself again.
