• Thyroid hormone plays a crucial role in metabolism and many physiological activities such as digestion, brain development, and heart and muscle function. In Hypothyroidism, your body is unable to produce sufficient thyroid hormone and maintain optimal physiological functions.
• Levothyroxine provides sufficient levels of thyroid hormone by acting as a substitute for the naturally produced thyroid hormone.
