Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important information I should know?

Because every pet reacts differently to this medication, your veterinarian may monitor thyroid hormone levels in the blood every 2-4 weeks while adjusting the dose. Periodic testing is also necessary while the pet is taking Thyro-Tabs.

It generally takes several weeks of therapy to see an effect. In almost all cases, the pet will need to be on a thyroid supplement such as Thyro-Tabs for life.

Not for use in animals hypersensitive (allergic) to it. Use with extreme caution in older or debilitated animals, or those with heart disease, high blood pressure, Addison's disease (hypoadrenocorticism), or diabetes.

Do not use in animals with hyperthyroidism, a condition in which the body produces too much thyroid hormone.

There are no known side effects when given at correct dosage.

If your pet experiences an allergic reaction to the medication, signs may include facial swelling, hives, scratching, sudden onset of diarrhea, vomiting, shock, seizures, pale gums, cold limbs, or coma. If you observe any of these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Store at room temperature in a tight, light-resistant, childproof container. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

With chronic overdosing (taking a slightly higher dose over a long period of time), expect to see signs of hyperthyroidism such as an increase in drinking, urinating, eating, activity; seeking cool areas; increased heart rate; panting; restlessness; and behavior changes. You may also see vomiting.

If you know or suspect your pet has had an overdose, or if you observe any of the above signs in your pet, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Consult with your veterinarian before using this medication with any other medications, including vitamins and supplements, epinephrine, norepinephrine, insulin, estrogens, warfarin, or digoxin, since interactions may occur.

No known food interactions.
