Tirosint®-SOL Brand Levothyroxine Oral Solution
Description: Tirosint®-SOL is a brand-name levothyroxine which comes in a liquid form, packaged in an individual-dose ampule.
Because it has no dyes, and few excipients, Tirosint®-SOL is considered an especially safe and effective option for people with allergies and sensitivities to dyes and excipients.
Tirosint®-SOL is also shown in research to be more resistant than levothyroxine tablets to the negative effects of food, coffee, milk, soy foods, and a high-fiber diet. Tirosint®-SOL’s resistance also means that it’s a safe and effective option for the many hypothyroid patients who also take calcium supplements, iron supplements, proton pump inhibitor drugs, and antacids.
Tirosint®-SOL has also been shown to be better absorbed by hypothyroid patients who have any issues with absorption, or specific gastrointestinal or digestive conditions that negatively affect levothyroxine tablet absorption. These conditions include:
-
Celiac disease
-
Inflammatory bowel disease/syndrome (IBD/IBS)
-
Ulcers and helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection
-
Gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD)/acid reflux
-
Ulcerative colitis
-
Crohn's disease
-
Previous gastric bypass
-
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
