What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Levothyroxine Sodium Overview
Levothyroxine is used to treat an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). It replaces or provides more thyroid hormone, which is normally produced by the thyroid gland. Low thyroid hormone levels can occur naturally or when the thyroid gland is injured by radiation/medications or removed by surgery. Having enough thyroid hormone is important for maintaining normal mental and physical activity. In children, having enough thyroid hormone is important for normal mental and physical development. Levothyroxine Sodium is also used to treat other types of thyroid disorders (such as thyroid cancer). Levothyroxine Sodium should not be used to treat infertility unless it is caused by low thyroid hormone levels.
Levothyroxine Sodium Warnings
Levothyroxine Sodium should not be used for weight loss. Normal doses of Levothyroxine Sodium will not work for weight loss, and large doses of Levothyroxine Sodium may cause serious, possibly fatal side effects, especially when taken with diet pills.

Do not split, crush, or chew. People who cannot swallow the capsule whole (such as infants or small children) should use the tablet form of the medication. For infants or children who cannot swallow whole tablets, crush the tablet and mix in 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 milliliters) of water, and give using a spoon or dropper right away. Do not prepare a supply in advance or mix the tablet in soy infant formula. Consult your pharmacist for more information.
