Having a balanced amount of thyroid hormone is important in sustaining normal mental health and physical activity for your pets.

Possible Side Effects

When administered at an appropriate dose to pets requiring thyroid hormone replacement, there should not be any adverse effects associated with therapy.

Precautions

Do not use in dogs with thyrotoxicosis or uncorrected adrenal insufficiency. Different brands of levothyroxine may not work the same. If the pills look different from the last filling, speak to your pharmacist or veterinarian.
