Thyro-Tabs (Levothyroxine Sodium) Tablets, 0.5 mg for Dogs

Reliable Thyroid Hormone Replacement

Thyro-Tabs (Levothyroxine Sodium) 0.5 mg are a prescription medication used to treat hypothyroidism in dogs, a condition where the thyroid gland fails to produce sufficient levels of thyroid hormone. Each tablet contains 0.5 mg of levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic version of the thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine). This oral hormone replacement therapy helps regulate your dog’s metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, skin health, and cognitive function.

Veterinarians commonly prescribe Thyro-Tabs as a long-term daily treatment to stabilize thyroid hormone levels, improve overall health, and reverse the symptoms of canine hypothyroidism including weight gain, lethargy, dry skin, and hair thinning.
