How Vet Thyro Tablet works
Vet Thyro 0.2 Tablet contains levothyroxine, a synthetic version of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). Once absorbed into the body, it helps regulate metabolism and energy use in cells. This hormone controls how the body converts nutrients into energy and supports the normal function of organs such as the heart, brain, and liver. Replacing the missing thyroid hormone restores normal metabolic activity and helps pets with hypothyroidism regain energy, a healthy coat, and overall well-being.
