Levothyroxine 800 µg

Dogs

Treatment of primary and secondary hypothyroidism. 

Oral use. 
The recommended starting dose for dogs is 20 µg levothyroxine sodium per kg body weight per day given as a single daily dose or in two equally divided doses. 
Because of variability in absorption and metabolism, the dosage may require alterations before a complete clinical response is observed. The initial dosage and frequency of administration are merely a starting point. Therapy has to be highly individualised and tailored to the requirements of the individual animal especially for small dogs, in accordance with monitoring by the veterinarian. 
In the dog, absorption of levothyroxine sodium may be affected by the presence of food. The timing of treatment and its relation to feeding should therefore be kept consistent from day to day.
