The therapeutic effect of Letrox is achieved within 3 – 5 days from the start of treatment. The half-life of the drug in the body is about 7 days, while it is longer in people with hypothyroidism (about 9-10 days). The effect of antidepressants develops longer, i.e. after about 6-8 weeks. their reception. It is difficult to look for analogies between these groups of drugs. Letrox is usually an effective drug in the treatment of hypothyroidism, it is some people who may need to change the dose or another medication due to differences in metabolism and body reactions to the drug. There are situations when patients do not respond to Letrox sufficiently, which can be caused by various causes, such as problems of absorption of the drug by the body, hormonal disorders, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract or taking other medicines that may affect the absorption of Letrox. In this case, your doctor may recommend changing the dose of Letrox or prescribing another thyroid hormone drug, such as liothyronine, for example. This decision will depend on the individual needs and situation of the patient, and its decision should always be preceded by consultation with a doctor.
