Thyro-Tabs 1 mg for Dogs

Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets for Canine Hypothyroidism Treatment

Thyro-Tabs 1 mg for Dogs is a thyroid hormone replacement therapy formulated with levothyroxine sodium, specifically designed to treat hypothyroidism in dogs. Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder in canines, characterized by an underactive thyroid gland that fails to produce enough thyroid hormone (T4), leading to symptoms like weight gain, lethargy, skin disorders, and hair loss.

Thyro-Tabs helps normalize thyroid hormone levels, supporting your dog’s metabolism, cardiovascular health, and energy levels. Veterinarians commonly prescribe these oral tablets as a long-term daily supplement to manage and improve thyroid function and quality of life in hypothyroid dogs.

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.
