Hello Doctor,

 

What are the treatment options for hypothyroidism?

 

Answered by Dr. Mehul Virani

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Oral medication is the only available treatment for hypothyroidism, which typically involves the use of levothyroxine (T4) and sometimes levothyroxine (T3). T4 is widely utilized and readily accessible, while T3 is less commonly employed and reserved for specific patients.

 

Thanks
