A patient with hypothyroidism is given a prescription for levothyroxine (Synthroid). When the nurse explains that this is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone, he states that he prefers to receive more “natural” forms of drugs. What will the nurse explain to him about the advantages of levothyroxine?


▸ It has a stronger effect than the natural forms.

▸ Levothyroxine is less expensive than the natural forms.

▸ The synthetic form has fewer adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract.

▸ The half-life of levothyroxine is long enough to permit once-daily dosing.
