Posology

Posology

  • Perform thyroid function test (T3, T4 and TSH levels) before treatment with levothyroxine injection. The starting and maintenance doses depend on the degree of hypothyroidism, the patient’s age and individual tolerance.1
  • Daily administration of levothyroxine injection should be continued until the patient is able to tolerate oral therapy.1
  • For treatment of hypothyroidism, parenteral levothyroxine should be administered at an initial dose that corresponds to 70-80% of the oral dose required to achieve euthyroidism.1

Please consult SmPC for full posology information, including posology in MC and hypothyroidism, consult SmPC.
