Levothyroxine is a drug used to treat hypothyroidism which is a state of low thyroid levels in the body. It leads to decreased metabolic activity in the body, fatigue and even depression.

The drug brings about normalization of thyroid levels by giving out synthetic T4 (thyroid) on the body which then makes these symptoms go away.
