Levothyroxine sodium powder supplement for horses. For use in horses for correction of conditions associated with low circulating thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism).
Instructions:
Dosage: The suggested initial dose is 0.5 to 3.0 mg levothyroxine sodium (T-4) per 100 pounds body weight (1 to 6 mg per 100 kg) once per day or in divided doses. Response to the administration of Thyro-L should be evaluated clinically until an adequate maintenance dose is established. In most horses, this is usually in the range of 6 to 36 mg total daily dose of T-4. Serum T-3 and T-4 values can vary greatly among individual horses on thyroid supplementation. Dosages should be monitored daily for clinical signs of hyperthyroidism or hypersensitivity. Administration: Thyro-L can be administered by mixing the daily dose in the concentrate or by administering once with grain, preferably rolled or ground. To facilitate proper adhesion of Thyro-L to the ration, slightly moisten the grain with water or liquid supplement. Note: Each pound (453.6g) contains: Levothyroxine Sodium USP 0.22% One level teaspoonful contains approximately 12mg of T-4. One level tablespoon contains approximately 36mg of T-4.
