[RC] Levothyroxine - victoria thompsonLevothyroxine is produced by the thyroid gland. When it isn't producing enough you become hypothyroid. Taking Levothyroxine orally is simply replacing what your body is not making - it is not a drug and there is no reason to stop taking it before a race. It does not test as anything other than the normal hormone the thyroid makes.The only thing that pisses me off about animals taking Levothyroxine is it's the exact same med that I take as well. Dogs even get the same pill I take. It needs to be called something else for animals <g>. It rankles my finely honed sensibilities - just like people that drink gin martinis :-)) Tori =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
