What is Synthroid? 

Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium) is a synthetic levogyrate isomer of thyroxine (natural thyroid gland hormone). After a partial conversion to triiodothyronine in the liver and kidneys it enters the body's cells where regulates development and growth of tissues and activate metabolic processes. In low doses (Synthroid 25mcg), levothyroxine exerts anabolic effects on protein, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. In medium doses, levothyroxine (Synthroid 100mcg) stimulates the growth of tisse, increases demand of tissues in oxygen,  increases the functional activity of cardiovascular system and central nervous system. 

In high doses, Synthroid (200mcg) inhibits the production of thyrotropin-releasing hormone, hypothalamus and pituitary thyroid stimulating hormone.
Therapeutic effect is usually observed after 7-12 days. Clinical effect of hypothyroidism treatment is manifested in 3-5 days. Diffuse goiter is reduced or disappears within 3-6 months. 

Which is Synthroid pharmacokinetics?  

After oral administration levothyroxine sodium is absorbed  in the upper part small intestine. Absorption rate is nearly 80% of the administered dose. Meal reduces the absorbtion of levothyroxine.
Cmax in serum is reached approximately in 5-6 h after administration. 
Levothyroxine binds to plasma proteins by 99% (thyroxine-dependent globulin, thyroxine-binding prealbumin and albumin). Nearly 80% of Levothyroxine is converted in  triiodothyronine (T3 thyroid  hormone) in the liver and kidney.  Thyroid hormones are metabolized primarily in liver, kidney, brain and muscle. Metabolites are excreted in the urine and bile. Half-life period is 6-7 days.
