Let's take a minute to talk about your medication. 

This is Levoxyl, and you should take it exactly as directed by your doctor. You should take each dose on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before food, because that is when your body absorbs it best. You should take your dose with a full glass of water. 

Levoxyl is used to replace or supplement low levels of thyroid hormones in your body, which are important for normal metabolism, growth and development. It can take several weeks to start improving your symptoms, and the full effects from a dose can take a month or two. Your doctor will monitor your dose with labwork. 

Levoxyl is generally well-tolerated, but at first there could be slight and temporary hair loss. This is normal and should go away. Let your doctor know if you notice any unusual changes to your body, like changes in your appetite or menstrual periods, problems sleeping, feeling hot, diarrhea or excessive sweating. Also, call your doctor promptly if you have chest pain or a fast or irregular heartbeat. 

It is not recommended to take non-prescription weight loss products with Levoxyl unless you are under the close supervision of your doctor. 

Women should tell their doctor if they are pregnant, or if they intend to become pregnant or breastfeed. This is important because your dose may need to be monitored more closely. 

For best results, continue taking Levoxyl, and follow your doctor's recommendations for labwork and monitoring.
