Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?This trial is testing a liquid form of levothyroxine to see if it better manages thyroid function in patients with hypothyroidism who use feeding tubes. These patients often struggle with traditional tablet forms of the medication. The liquid form is expected to be absorbed more consistently, potentially improving their thyroid levels and symptoms. Levothyroxine is a standard therapy for hypothyroidism, and liquid formulations have been shown to provide better absorption and thyroid hormone control compared to tablet forms.
