- W3089904299 abstract "Background: Levothyroxine (LT4) as a medication is used by up to 5.3% of the adult population. For optimal efficacy, the traditional tablet formulation (LT4tab) requires that patients avoid concomitant ingestion with food, drinks, and certain medications, as well as excellent patient compliance. Some comorbidities influence bioavailability of LT4 and may mandate repeated dose adjustments. Summary: New LT4 formulations (soft gel [LT4soft] and liquid [LT4liq]) containing predissolved LT4 are claimed to improve bioavailability, presumably by facilitating absorption. Thus, these formulations may well be more suitable than LT4tab for patients whose daily requirements are subjected to variations in bioavailability. Here, we review the evidence and indications for use of new LT4 formulations and highlight areas of uncertainty that are worthy of further investigation. While bioequivalence is established for LT4soft and LT4liq administered to healthy volunteers compared with LT4tab in pharmacokinetic (PK) studies, therapeutic equivalence of the new formulations seems to be different in several clinical settings. Some evidence suggests that new formulations of LT4 may mitigate against the strict requirements relating to concomitant ingestion with food, drinks, and certain medications, which apply to traditional LT4 tablets. The principal indication is in selected patients with disease fluctuations and intermittent therapies with interfering medications, where the need for frequent dose adjustments and office visits may be diminished. Whether the use of LT4soft or LT4liq in patients with impaired gastric acid secretion results in better control of hypothyroidism than LT4tab remains unclear. Conclusions: The evidence in favor of using LT4soft and LT4liq in clinical practice over LT4tab is weak, and the underlying putative PK mechanisms unclear. Additional studies to investigate these potential benefits, define the cost-effectiveness, and understand the PK mechanisms involved with new LT4 formulations are needed." @default.
