A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
SYNTHROID is a replacement for a thyroid hormone that is usually produced by your thyroid gland to regulate the body's energy and metabolism. SYNTHROID contains a chemical called Levothyroxine which is primarily used to treat hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone). SYNTHROID is also used to prevent and/or treat an enlarged thyroid gland which is referred to as goiter. This medication should not be used to treat weight related problems. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
SYNTHROID comes in a tablet form and should be taken orally, exactly as prescribed by your physician. It is recommended to take a tablet once a day in the morning on an empty stomach, an hour before eating. Take the tablet with a full glass of water at the same time each day. SYNTHROID should be taken at least 4 hours apart from drugs that are known to interfere with its absorption.
For children and infants who have difficulty consuming tablets, crush the tablet and mix it with 1-2 teaspoons of water and give it immediately without food or formula.
Before taking SYNTHROID, consult your physician to verify if you are allergic to it or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems.
SYNTHROID may not be recommended for certain situations and/or conditions, so share your medical history with your physician. Conditions such as increased thyroid hormones (thyrotoxicosis), decreased adrenal gland function, heart disease (such as coronary artery disease, irregular heartbeat), high blood pressure and diabetes may indicate this medication is not right for you. It is important to consult your physician about any health conditions such as:
