Esto hace la LEVOTIROXINA a tu cuerpo (y NO te explican)

Levothyroxine is a synthetic thyroid hormone. It is primarily used to treat hypothyroidism and some other thyroid problems. It has the same effects as naturally produced thyroid hormones. It's one of the most prescribed medications in the world, with millions of people relying on it every day. However, 60% of those who take it are unaware of key aspects of how it actually works and, for example, take it incorrectly, making it much less effective. Instead of being a boon to your well-being, it causes problems.
