Contact a healthcare professional for dosage and other important information. Special attention is given to thyroid hormone when thyroid disease occurs. Thyroid hormones stimulate the growth of thyroid gland tissue. Thyroid hormone is necessary for the body to respond to changes in the environment that cause the change. Changes in the thyroid hormones can increase the risk of developing a thyroid condition, which can lead to hypothyroidism. Talk with your healthcare provider before using a thyroid hormone replacement drug if you have a history of thyroid disease, and/or an increased risk of thyroid cancer. Also, consider that thyroid hormone therapy can cause changes in body weight. In general, your doctor will evaluate your thyroid hormone levels and may recommend dosage and timing of treatment to avoid hypothyroidism. It is important that you complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better before you realize how treatment is going to affect you. For more information, please refer to the full Health Information Leaflets. You may also visit a medical clinic for appointments. It is not recommended to use this medication for longer than prescribed.
