Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Maximum Serum Concentration in Pre Dose Corrected Data (Cmax[aj]) of Levothyroxine (T4) [Pre-dose, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4.0, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 24.0, 36.0 and 48.0 hours post-dose]

    Cmax was obtained from the concentration time curve. Cmax[aj] was the maximum serum concentration in pre dose corrected data where pre dose corrected data was obtained by subtracting pre dose level of Levothyroxine (T4) from level of Levothyroxine (T4) after administration.

  2. Area Under Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to The Last Sampling Time in Pre Dose Corrected Data (AUC0-t [aj]) of Levothyroxine (T4) [Pre-dose, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4.0, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 24.0, 36.0 and 48.0 hours post-dose]

    AUC0-t was defined as area under the curve of the serum concentration as a function of time, from time 0 until the last sampling time by means of the trapezoidal rule. AUC0-t [aj] was the area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the last sampling time in pre dose corrected data where pre dose corrected data was obtained by subtracting pre dose level of Levothyroxine (T4) from level of Levothyroxine (T4) after administration.

    Tmax was obtained directly from serum concentration-time curve.

  2. Elimination Half-Life (t1/2) of Levothyroxine (T4) [Pre-dose, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4.0, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 24.0, 36.0 and 48.0 hours post-dose]

    t1/2 was the time measured for the concentration to decrease by one half. Terminal half-life calculated by natural log 2 divided by elimination constant.

  3. Area Under The Curve of the Serum Concentration as a Function of Time, From Time Zero to The Last Sampling Time (AUC0-t) of Levothyroxine (T4) [Pre-dose, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4.0, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 24.0, 36.0 and 48.0 hours post-dose]

    Area under the serum concentration versus time curve from time zero to the last sampling time t at which the concentration was at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ).

  4. Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Levothyroxine (T4) [Pre-dose, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4.0, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 24.0, 36.0 and 48.0 hours post-dose]
