What is it about?
We describe the clinical and laboratory findings which help distinguish levothyroxine overdose from endogenous causes of thyrotoxicosis e.g. Graves' disease. In addition we summarise the management of levothyroxine overdose patients and how this differs from those with endogenous thyrotoxicosis.
