For thyroid replacement therapy in conditions of inadequate production of thyroid hormones in dogs.
Dosage & Administration
The recommended starting dosage of levothyroxine sodium is 10 μg/kg body weight orally every 12 hours.

The initial dosage and frequency of administration are merely a starting point. Therapy has to be highly individualised and tailored to the requirements of the individual dog, in accordance with monitoring by the veterinarian.
