Hello there...., treatment for hypothyroidism is to provide the body the amount of thyroid hormone that it is lacking. This is achieved through synthetic thyroxine, a medication that is identical to the T4 hormone.....
The medication also gradually lowers cholesterol levels elevated by the disease and will reverse the weight gain....Treatment is usually lifelong.....To determine the proper dosage you must be in a regular follow up with your Physician......
