What are Soloxine Tablets?

Soloxine tablets are also known as Levothroxine Sodium Tablets, USP.

Levothyroxine sodium acts, as does endogenous thyroxine, to stimulate metabolism, growth, development and differentiation of tissues. Levothyroxine sodium is absorbed rapidly from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Following absorption, the compound becomes bound to the serum alpha globulin fraction. For purposes of comparison, 0.1 mg of levothyroxine sodium elicits a clinical response approximately equal to that produced by one grain (65 mg) of desiccated thyroid. Soloxine is available in uniquely shaped, color coded tablets in eight different strengths to allow easy and convenient dosage adjustment.

Soloxine provides thyroid replacement therapy in all conditions of inadequate production of thyroid hormones. Soloxine (Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets, USP) will provide levothyroxine (T4) as a substrate for the physiologic deiodination to liothyronine (T3). Administration of levothyroxine sodium alone will result in complete physiologic thyroid replacement.
