Thyro-Tabs (Levothyroxine Sodium)

Description

Thyro-Tabs are used to treat animals that donʼt make enough thyroid hormone. Dogs require much higher doses than humans. Keeping your dog's thyroid hormone at the correct levels help maintain a happy and healthy pet.

Benefits

• Replacement therapy for diminished thyroid function in dogs.

Consult with your veterinarian for proper dosage and course of treatment.

Warnings

In humans and rodents, excess in utero exposure to thyroid hormones is associated with hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis dysfunction and morphological thyroid gland defects in the offspring. The safety of Thyro-Tabs Canine has not been evaluated in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs.

Precautions

Dogs with underlying cardiac disease that are diagnosed with hypothyroidism should be closely monitored during the dose establishment phase. Adjustment of cardiac medication or levothyroxine sodium dosage may be needed depending on clinical response.
