Thyforon is the new form of the well established tablet formerly called Forthyron. They are used to treat an under-active thyroid gland in dogs (known medically as hypothyroidism). This condition is common in middle aged dogs. It is not a life threatening condition, but it is often associated with a poor coat and skin problems. It also tends to make affected individuals lethargic and overweight. Reproductive problems are often seen in breeding animals too.Treatment of hypothyroidism in dogs is simple and safe using Thyforon or Forthyron. Both are tablets containing levothyroxine sodium. This is a synthetic product which is chemically identical to the naturally occurring hormone thyroxine, or “T4”. It is used to supplement deficient hormone levels in the affected dog and is to be used long term. Side effects are very rare with Thyforon/Forthyron unless it is significantly overdosed. Since it is chemically identical to the natural hormone, side effects only tend to occur due to increased effect. If a previously lethargic dog becomes more active due to improved thyroid hormone levels, this can put a strain on the body if there are underlying heart or arthritic problems. Therefore it is sensible for your vet to assess the overall condition of your dog, including any other possible hormonal problems, before starting therapy. Thyforon tablets are different from Forthyron tablets is that they are flavoured to make them palatable to dogs, with most dogs taking them happily as treats
Treatment usually has to be given for several weeks before improvement in the skin and coat are seen. Dogs become more lively and alert usually more quickly.

HI My senior doggie must need to had
"Thyroxine (ThyroMed)0.2mg twice time per day,is't same with this product?
There are several different brands of thyroid hormone tablets for use in dogs. All of them can be used once a day or twice a day. Some dogs do appear to respond better to twice daily dosing and some vets always advise this. Other vets will try once per day at first. The active ingredient is the same in all the top brands, so you should aim to give a new brand in the same way as you gave the previous brand, while always checking with your own vet first. You should probably expect to give this product twice per day to your dog.
