Soloxine (levothyroxine) by Virbac is a levothyroxine that is used to treat hypothyroidism. It provides thyroid replacement therapy in all conditions of inadequate production of hormones produced naturally by the thyroid gland. Soloxine is a replacement for the hormone that the thyroid gland normally produces to regulate the body’s energy and metabolism. Soloxine is given when the pet’s thyroid does not produce enough hormone on its own. Lack of thyroid hormone causes hypothyroidism, characterized by lack of energy and weight gain. It is a disease commonly seen in middle age and older dogs.
