| Thyro-Tabs Rx, .8mg Tablets Vet A Mix Thyroid Therapy. Levothyroxine sodium, USP. Indications: For use in dogs for correction of conditions associated with low circulating thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism). Caution(s): Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. For use in dogs for correction of conditions associated with low circulating thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism). Low serum circulating L-thyroxine (T-4) concentrations coupled with clinical signs are suggestive of hypothyroidism. Based on studies conducted by Vet-A-Mix and in cooperation with two commercial laboratories the following parameters for T-4 concentrations in canine serum have been established: Normal (euthyroid) - 18 to 32 ng/mL (1.8 to 3.2 ?g/dL) Possible hypothyroid - 10 to 18 ng/mL (1.0 to 1.8 ?g/dL) Hypothyroid - less than 10 ng/mL (< 1.0 ?g/dL) The animal should be showing some clinical signs associated with hypothyroidism. A resting serum T-4 concentration of 18 ng/mL or above signifies that hypothyroidism is unlikely in dogs. Normally the greater the T-4 concentration exceeds this value the less likely that a dog is hypothyroid. A dog with a T-4 value below 18 ng/mL that is exhibiting signs of hypothyroidism should be considered for levothyroxine replacement therapy. T-4 measurements should be made at 30 day intervals to establish the proper maintenance dose during a therapeutic trial with Thyro-Tabs Caplet. A critical assessment of improvement in or resolution of clinical signs should be made after 12 weeks of levothyroxine sodium therapy. Further confirmation of the diagnosis could include withdrawal of the levothyroxine sodium therapy. A recurrence of clinical signs following cessation of therapy further supports the diagnosis. Correct diagnosis of hypothyroidism is important since such a diagnosis normally commits an animal to life-long supplemental L-thyroxine replacement therapy. The principal objective of levothyroxine sodium administration is to achieve and maintain normal metabolism in the patient by providing an exogenous supply of synthetic L-thyroxine in amounts sufficient to maintain levels of the hormone within the animal's normal physiologic range. Animal adaptation may necessitate regular monitoring of serum T-4 concentrations during the first several months of treatment to establish proper maintenance doses. The TSH Response Test may be used to provide a definitive diagnosis in dogs with borderline resting serum T-4 values. The TSH dose post-dose sampling times and interpretation of pre- and post-TSH injection responses depend somewhat on the reference laboratory used. |
