What is Unithroid?

Unithroid is a prescription medication used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone. It can also treat a certain type of thyroid cancer when used alongside other treatments. Your healthcare provider can diagnose you with hypothyroidism if your thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone, which your body needs to function properly.

Unithroid contains a synthetic version of thyroxine called levothyroxine. It works by replacing the thyroid hormone that is normally produced by the thyroid gland in the body. Unithroid is available as an oral tablet that is usually taken on an empty stomach once daily, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Be sure to follow your prescription guide or healthcare professional's instructions on how to take your medication.

Before taking Unithroid, make sure your healthcare provider knows about all of your medical conditions and the medications you take. Your medication list may include prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and dietary supplements.

What is the difference between Unithroid and Synthroid?

Unithroid and Synthroid are both brand names for the same medication, levothyroxine, which is used to treat hypothyroidism. The main difference lies in their manufacturers and the inactive ingredients they might contain, which can affect how the medication is absorbed in the body. However, both medications work in the same way to replace thyroid hormone levels. 

Can you lose weight on Unithroid?

Unithroid is not prescribed for weight loss and should not be used for this purpose. While it can cause weight loss in people with hypothyroidism by normalizing their thyroid levels, taking it in larger doses for weight loss can be dangerous and lead to serious health issues.
