The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two new changes to the label of Tirosint-SOL (levothyroxine sodium) oral solution, a unique formulation of levothyroxine (LT4) for the treatment of hypothyroidism.
Key Points:
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two new changes to the label of Tirosint-SOL (levothyroxine sodium) oral solution, a unique formulation of levothyroxine (LT4) for the treatment of hypothyroidism.
- The first regards the use of Tirosint-SOL in the presence of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy.
- Both label changes help to differentiate Tirosint-SOL from other levothyroxine therapies.
- Similarly, current labeling for all levothyroxine sodium therapies instructs patients to self-administer the drug once daily, on an empty stomach, one-half to one hour before breakfast.
