Tirosint (levothyroxine) is prescribed to treat various conditions of low thyroid hormone level (hypothyroidism). Tirosint is sometimes prescribed to treat or prevent goiter (enlarged thyroid). The thyroid produces hormones that are an important regulator for body functions. Hypothyroidism often occurs due to cancers, surgery, age, and sometimes genetics. Tirosint works as hormone replacement therapy; it supplies the body with the thyroid hormone needed to maintain healthy function.
There is a generic equivalent of Tirosint available. Ask your doctor if this generic is right for your specific condition. For patients without insurance who must take Tirosint, a 30-day supply can cost as much as $150. Hypothyroidism is usually a long term illness, so patients can be expected to pay for prescriptions of Tirosint over a protracted period of time. Even patients with insurance have co-pays that begin to add up over the course of a long prescription.
