Description of Canine Thyroid Chewables
Uses
Palatable, chewable thyroid supplement tablet for managing cases of canine hypothyroidism where thyroid replacement therapy is indicated.
Dosage and Administration
The initial recommended dose of levothyroxine is 0.1 mg/10 lb (4.5 kg) body weight twice daily. Dosage is then adjusted by monitoring the post-pill blood level of thyroid hormone in the dog every four weeks until an adequate maintenance dosage is established.
Each tablet, Pala-Tech Canine Thyroid Chewable Tablets, may be given orally to dogs as a treat, or crumbled over their food at the veterinarian-prescribed dose. If crumbled over food, consumption should be monitored.
Contra-indications
Levothyroxine sodium therapy is contraindicated in thyrotoxicosis, acute myocardial infarction and uncorrected adrenal insufficiency. Use in pregnant bitches has not been evaluated.
Pharmaceutical Precautions
The effects of levothyroxine sodium therapy are slow to manifest. Overdosage of any thyroid drug may produce the signs and symptoms of thyrotoxicosis including, but not limited to: polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, reduced heat tolerance and hyperactivity or personality change. Administer with caution to animals with clinically significant heart disease, hypertension, or other complications for which a sharply increased metabolic rate might prove hazardous.
