How much time does levothyroxin (175 mcg) take to work?

Slow: Hi. When you start levothyroxine for hypothyroidism or change the dose, it takes generally about 6 weeks to et to a new steady state from the lab standpoint; symptom response may be faster or slower than that, depending on the symptom. Good luck!
