An important note about hypothyroidism:
Thank you for visiting this website. The thyroid is a complicated and vital part of your body and each individual’s thyroid may act somewhat differently. For this reason, any decisions regarding the use of a thyroid treatment should be made after a consultation between you and your healthcare professional. If you think you may be suffering from hypothyroidism and have not seen a doctor or other qualified healthcare professional, you should get a professional evaluation as soon as possible.

While we make every effort to provide accurate, up-to-date, and useful information on this site, it is not intended as a substitute for a clinical evaluation or the advice of a qualified doctor or other healthcare professional.

The information provided here is approved only for use in the United States.

Thyroid hormones, either alone or combined with other medications, should NOT be used for the treatment of obesity and should NOT be taken by patients with uncorrected adrenal cortical insufficiency, untreated thyrotoxicosis, or apparent hypersensitivity to thyroid hormones.
