Rx Thyro-Tabs 1.0 mg x 120 tablets
For use in dogs for correction of conditions associated with low circulating thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism). Thyro-Tabs offer nine dosage strengths from 0.1 mg to 1.0 mg, a convenient Ready-to-Dispense 120-count bottle, color-coded tablets for easy identification, scored tablets for precise dosage, proven efficacy in independent research, and unsurpassed shelf life and expiry dating. Levothyroxine (T-4) is a naturally circulating thyroid hormone produced by the canine thyroid gland. Levothyroxine sodium provided by Thyro-Tabs tablets cannot be distinguished from levothyroxine endogenously secreted from the dog's thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones influence virtually every body organ, either by their effect on growth and development or by the hormones' metabolic effects.
