Treatment for Hashimoto's
Thyroiditis
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis can usually
be treated with thyroid hormone
replacement. A small pill taken once
a day should be able to regulate the
thyroid hormone in the body to
normal levels. This medication will,
in most cases, need to be taken for
the rest of the patient's life. When
trying to determine the correct
hormone dosage, you may have to
return to your doctor several times
for adjustments in medication. A
yearly visit to your health care
provider will help keep your levels
normal and help maintain normal
health. Be aware of the symptoms. If
you note any changes or the return
of symptoms, return to your doctor
to see if you need to have your
medication changed.
