THYROID
TREATMENTS |

|
Thyroid hormone production is a complex
process. A part of your brain makes a hormone that causes your
pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone. Your thyroid
then produces 2 different thyroid hormones: T4 and T3. An
underactive thyroid gland produces too little thyroid hormone. When
this happens, thyroid hormone replacement therapy is prescribed.
Thyroid replacement is a lifelong therapy. Do not stop taking your
thyroid medication because you feel better. If you stop taking your
medication, your symptoms are likely to return. |
