MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO — Health Canada has approved Thyconvi™, a levothyroxine sodium oral solution, for the management of hypothyroidism and thyroid-stimulating hormone suppression. BioSyent Pharma Inc., a subsidiary of BioSyent Inc., holds an exclusive license to register, market, sell and distribute the product in Canada.
Thyconvi™ is the first and only levothyroxine oral solution available in Canada. The product is an oral liquid dosage containing 20 micrograms of levothyroxine sodium per millilitre, supplied in packages of two 75 mL bottles that do not require refrigeration.
The product is indicated as a replacement or supplemental therapy for primary, secondary and tertiary hypothyroidism of any etiology in patients of any age and state, including pregnancy, except during the recovery phase of subacute thyroiditis. It is also indicated for pituitary thyrotropin suppression as an adjunct to surgery and radioactive iodine therapy in the management of thyrotropin-dependent well-differentiated papillary or follicular carcinoma of the thyroid. The formulation offers variable dosing options for patients who have difficulty taking solid dose formulations.
"Having a liquid oral levothyroxine option in Canada is a meaningful step forward for hypothyroidism care," said Dr. Afshan Zahedi, Medical Director of the Thyroid Program at Women's College Hospital and Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. "An oral liquid formulation can help support consistent day-to-day dosing and provide greater flexibility when titrating therapy to help patients reach target TSH levels, specially in patient populations where this has been challenging with current formulations."
"We are pleased to have received an approval from Health Canada for Thyconvi™," said René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent Inc. "Thyconvi™ will provide a convenient option for Canadians living with hypothyroidism and we are looking forward to the launch of this product in the coming months. Thyconvi™ addresses an unmet medical need while expanding our Canadian pharma product offering to a new therapeutic area in endocrinology."
