Levothyroxine intoxication has a large and severe scale of symptoms in patients which expose to high dose. Levothyroxine is a common drug which is used in thyroid replacement therapy. Patients with intoxication clinical table varies depending on drug dose, concomitant diseases, other drugs taken together. Most of the patients exposed low dose drug remains asymptomatic. There haven’t been any established trade protocols. In this case, we report a 18 year old swallow 6 mg levothyroxin and required intensive care treatment levothyroxine intoxication patient. Patient had severe thyrotoxicosis symptoms. Patient had gastrointestinal lavage, activated charcoal, propylthiouracil, propranolol, prednisolone therapy and recurrent plasmapheresis. Patient discharged with healing
