Managing Your Levothyroxine Prescription: Renewals and Refills

Contact your doctor at least two weeks before your current prescription runs out to schedule a renewal. This allows ample time for processing.

Renewal Process

Your doctor will assess your current needs and may adjust your dosage based on blood tests. They’ll then send a new prescription to your pharmacy. Expect this to take several business days.

Refills

Most pharmacies offer automated refill systems. Check with your pharmacy for specific instructions on how to request refills. Keep your prescription information readily available. Many allow refills via phone, app, or website.

Managing Your Medication

Always store your levothyroxine as directed on the label, usually at room temperature. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture. Track your medication usage to ensure you consistently take your dose. Report any significant changes in your health to your doctor immediately.

Additional Support

If you have any questions about renewing or refilling your prescription, don’t hesitate to contact your doctor or pharmacist. They are your best resources for managing your medication.
