Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Levothyroxin is a medicine which is given if your thyroid reports are abnormal (hypothyroid with High TSH / Low T3, T4 values). When you have hypothyroid and your thyroid hormones level in your body is low, it needs to be supplemented from outside by giving levothyroxin which is very safe to take.
