In managing hyperthyroidism, doctors commonly prescribe medications to regulate thyroid hormone production or release. Treating the underlying cause, such as removing nodules, may also be considered.
However, many patients experience hypothyroidism. In such cases, synthetic thyroxine tablets containing levothyroxine are prescribed to address hormone deficiency, often requiring long-term therapy. Some patients may need to take these tablets indefinitely.
In instances of latent or silent hypothyroidism, where fT3 and fT4 blood levels are normal but TSH levels are elevated, treatment depends on factors like TSH levels, age, symptoms, and other medical findings. Consulting an expert is crucial to determine the necessity of therapy in such cases.
