Thyforon Flavoured Tablets 400mg

Endocrinology For Dogs This product is intended for the management of hypothyroidism in dogs. Active ingredient: Levothyroxine Sodium Pack size: 250 tablets packaged in blister packs of 400mcg, also offered in 200mcg and 800mcg strengths. Indications for use: Not suitable for dogs with untreated adrenal insufficiency. Avoid use in animals known to be hypersensitive to levothyroxine sodium or any of the other ingredients. The diagnosis of hypothyroidism must be validated through appropriate testing. The tablets are flavored for palatability. To prevent accidental ingestion, keep the tablets out of reach of pets. Dosage: The suggested initial dosage of levothyroxine sodium is 10 µg/kg of body weight administered orally every 12 hours. Due to variations in absorption and metabolism, adjustments to the dosage might be necessary before achieving a complete clinical response. The initial dosage and administration frequency should be viewed as a baseline. Treatment must be personalized and adapted to each dog's specific needs, under the guidance of a veterinarian. In dogs, levothyroxine sodium absorption can be influenced by food intake. Thus, it’s important to maintain a consistent schedule regarding treatment and feeding daily. For precise tablet splitting, place the scored side of the tablet facing up and press down gently with your thumb. To divide the tablet into two parts, hold one half steady while pressing down on the other half. For dogs weighing less than 5 kg, administer a quarter of one 200 μg tablet once a day. These cases should be closely monitored by your veterinarian. Storage: Keep in a cool place below 25°C. Any unused portion of a divided tablet should be returned to the opened blister and used within 4 days.Expires on 31 Oct 2027
