Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Patients with hyperthyroidism may take levothyroxine sodium tablets, but only under the guidance of a physician—self-medication at home is strictly discouraged to avoid adverse reactions. Levothyroxine sodium tablets serve as an adjunctive treatment for hyperthyroidism; they may be prescribed when thyroid hormone levels drop abruptly in patients with hyperthyroidism.
