Description: Provides thyroid replacement therapy in all conditions of inadequate production of thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism is the generalized metabolic disease resulting from deficiency of the thyroid hormones levothyroxine (T-4) and liothyronine (T-3). Levothyroxine sodium will provide levothyroxine (T-4) as a substrate for the physiologic deiodination to liothyronine (T-3). Administration of levothyroxine sodium alone will result in complete physiologic thyroid replacement. Canine hypothyroidism is usually primary, i.e., due to atrophy of the thyroid gland. In the majority of cases, the atrophy is associated with lymphocytic thyroiditis and in the remainder it is noninflammatory, and as of yet, unknown etiology. Less than 10 percent of the cases of hypothyroidism are secondary, i.e., due to deficiency of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH deficiency may occur as a component of congenital hypopituitarism or as an acquired disorder in adult dogs, in which case it is invariably due to the growth of a pituitary tumor.
