Experience a new way to manage your thyroid health with transdermal levothyroxine.

Forget about daily pills and injections – our innovative transdermal technology allows for easy and convenient application, providing a consistent dose of levothyroxine throughout the day.

Take control of your thyroid health and feel your best with transdermal levothyroxine.

How It Works

Transdermal levothyroxine works by delivering the medication through the skin directly into the bloodstream. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for more consistent absorption and potentially reducing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.

The medication is applied to a specific area of the skin, usually the upper arm, where it is absorbed over time. Once absorbed, the levothyroxine is distributed throughout the body, where it helps regulate the body’s metabolism and energy levels.

• Efficient absorption without the need for oral ingestion
• Potentially lower risk of stomach upset or malabsorption
• Convenient application and dosing
• Consistent delivery of medication over time

How It Works

Transdermal levothyroxine works by delivering the medication through the skin directly into the bloodstream. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for better absorption and more consistent levels of the hormone in the body.

The medication is applied to a specific area of the skin, such as the back of the neck or the inner forearm, where it is absorbed and gradually released over time. This continuous delivery helps to maintain stable thyroid hormone levels throughout the day.

The dosage and application instructions will vary depending on the specific product, so it is important to follow the guidance provided by your healthcare provider or the medication label.

The dosage of transdermal levothyroxine will be determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual needs and thyroid hormone levels. It is important to follow your provider’s instructions carefully to ensure the best outcomes.

• Before applying the patch, clean the skin with mild soap and water to remove any oils or lotions that may interfere with absorption.
• Allow the skin to dry completely before applying the patch.
