Thyronor contains synthetic Levothyroxine (T4), which mimics the body’s natural thyroid hormone. In peripheral tissues, T4 is converted into Triiodothyronine (T3), the more active form. T4 binds mainly to Thyroxine-Binding Globulin (TBG), which prolongs its half-life by protecting it from metabolism and excretion.
Half-life of T4: 6–7 days (shortened in hyperthyroidism; prolonged in hypothyroidism).
Liver metabolism: Major site of hormone breakdown, with excretion via urine after conjugation.
Enterohepatic circulation helps maintain blood levels.
A once-daily dose maintains stable T3 levels due to the long half-life of T4.

Initial dose: 25–50 mcg/day
Adjustment: Increase by 12.5–25 mcg every 6–8 weeks until clinical and TSH normalization
Severe hypothyroidism: Start with 12.5–25 mcg/day, titrate every 2–4 weeks based on response
Secondary/Tertiary hypothyroidism: Titrate to normalize free T4 within the upper normal range
Patients >50 or <50 with heart disease: Start at 1.7 mcg/kg/day
Newborns: 10–15 mcg/kg/day (lower dose if risk of heart failure)
Infants with serum T4 <5 mcg/dL: Start at 50 mcg/day
Children with chronic/severe hypothyroidism: Begin with 25 mcg/day, increase every 2–4 weeks
Hyperactivity caution: In older children, start at ¼ the full dose, increase weekly
Age Group | Recommended Dose |
---|---|
0–3 months | 10–15 mcg/kg/day |
3–6 months | 8–10 mcg/kg/day |
6–12 months | 6–8 mcg/kg/day |
1–5 years | 5–6 mcg/kg/day |
6–12 years | 4–5 mcg/kg/day |
>12 years (growth incomplete) | 2–3 mcg/kg/day |
Growth and puberty complete | 1.7 mcg/kg/day |
Adjust dosage according to clinical and laboratory evaluations.
Signs mimic hyperthyroidism: Agitation, confusion, tremors, tachycardia, arrhythmias, hyperthermia, diarrhea
Severe cases: Shock, coma, or death
Symptoms may be delayed for days
Management: Discontinue therapy temporarily and provide symptomatic support
Typically due to overdosage or hyperthyroidism:
General: Fatigue, heat intolerance, weight loss, increased appetite
CNS: Headache, nervousness, insomnia, mood changes
Cardio: Palpitations, arrhythmias, elevated BP
GI: Nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramps
Musculoskeletal: Muscle weakness, tremor
Other: Hair loss, excessive sweating, flushing
Pregnancy Category A
Dose adjustments may be necessary during pregnancy.
Minimal excretion into breast milk; safe during lactation with adequate replacement to support normal lactation.
In cases of pituitary-induced hypothyroidism, check and treat adrenal insufficiency before starting levothyroxine.
Cardiac patients and the elderly should start at low doses to avoid complications like arrhythmias or angina.
Any significant weight changes during therapy may necessitate dose adjustment.
Monitor serum TSH and T4 to determine correct dosage and treatment response.
T3 levels may normalize only with high-normal T4 levels.
Store below 30°C, in a dry, light-protected environment
