About this product

Species: Dogs Active ingredient: Levothyroxine Sodium ,1 mg/ml oral solution for dogs. Uses: Treatment of hypothyroidism in dogs. Dosage and administration For oral use only. In thyroid hormone replacement therapy with L-thyroxine, the dose rate and regime have to be tailored individually to each dog. A starting dose rate of 20 µg L-thyroxine sodium/kg once daily is recommended; this corresponds to 0.2 ml of the product per 10 kg bodyweight. At re-examination four weeks later, dose adjustment should be performed based on the clinical response to treatment and thyroid hormone concentration evaluated 4-6 hours after administration of the product. Further assessment of hormonal responses and dose adjustment may be repeated at 4 week intervals if required. A maintenance dose rate between 10 and 40 µg/kg body weight once daily is generally sufficient to control the clinical signs of hypothyroidism and to restore thyroid hormone concentrations to within the reference range. Depending on the dose rate determined as suitable for the dog and on its body weight, the volume (in ml) of the product to be administered once daily can be estimated using the Dosing Guide table: Once a suitable dose
