The dosage of Levothyroxine is determined based on your individual thyroid hormone levels and response to treatment. Typically, the starting dose is low and gradually increased as needed. It is usually taken once a day on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before breakfast. The effects of Levothyroxine may take several weeks to be noticeable. Do not exceed the prescribed dosage, and do not stop taking the medication suddenly without consulting your healthcare provider. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose.
