Ingredients - Thyro-L Powder

Thyro-L contains the active ingredient Levothyroxine Sodium, a synthetic thyroid hormone that mimics the natural hormone thyroxine (T4). This formulation is designed to be safe and effective for horses, ensuring they receive the exact amount needed to correct hormone deficiencies.

How It Works

Thyro-L Levothyroxine Sodium Powder functions by supplementing the body with synthetic thyroid hormone, similar to the naturally occurring hormone thyroxine. When a horse’s thyroid gland is underactive, it produces insufficient thyroxine, leading to hypothyroidism. This powder helps to elevate hormone levels, restoring the metabolic processes that are crucial for energy production, weight management, and overall well-being.

Dosage and Administration

Frequency

Administer Thyro-L once daily, preferably at the same time each day, to maintain consistent hormone levels. Dosage should be determined based on the horse’s weight and the severity of the hypothyroidism, as advised by a veterinarian.

Consistency

Ensure the powder is evenly mixed with the horse’s feed or dissolved in water. Consistent administration is key to achieving and maintaining therapeutic hormone levels.

Side Effects of Thyro-L Powder 

When used as directed, no side effects have been reported. If your pet is allergic to any of the ingredients, signs of an adverse reaction may include facial swelling, hives, scratching, sudden onset of diarrhea, shock, seizures, pale gums, cold limbs, or coma. If you notice any of these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Precautions

Always consult with a veterinarian before starting Thyro-L, especially if your horse is pregnant, lactating, or has a history of other medical conditions. Regular monitoring of thyroid hormone levels is recommended to adjust dosage as needed.
