Levothyroxine is used for thyroid hormone replacement in patients with hypothyroidism, which means it produces too little thyroid hormone. Most patients who are hypothyroid have an autoimmune disorder, despite surgical removal and congenital hypothyroidism are relatively common. Women are affected by hypothyroidism more frequently than men. Thyroid hormone plays a role in metabolism and levothyroxine side effects are largely due to the use of a dose of levothyroxine that leads to higher serum levels that the body naturally occurs in the euthyroid state.
