Levothyroxine Sodium is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, which is normally produced by the thyroid gland. It is used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Levothyroxine Sodium helps to restore the normal levels of thyroid hormone in the body.
Potassium Iodide, on the other hand, is a compound that contains iodine. It is used to protect the thyroid gland from the harmful effects of radiation in the event of a nuclear accident or emergency. Potassium Iodide works by saturating the thyroid gland with non-radioactive iodine, preventing the absorption of radioactive iodine.
Levothyroxine Sodium and Potassium Iodide Tablets are typically prescribed by healthcare professionals and should be taken as directed. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and frequency of administration to ensure the medication's effectiveness and safety.
