THYROID HORMONE THERAPY
What is Thyroid Hormone Therapy?
Thyroid hormone therapy is a treatment designed to restore normal thyroid hormone levels in individuals with hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or other thyroid-related conditions. The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, and overall health. When the thyroid is underactive or overactive, it can cause a range of symptoms that impact daily life.
What Causes Thyroid Imbalances?
Thyroid imbalances can result from autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease, iodine deficiency, pituitary gland issues, certain medications, or even stress and chronic illness. These imbalances can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, mood swings, and temperature sensitivity.
How Can Compounding Help with Thyroid Hormone Therapy?
Compounding offers a personalized approach to thyroid hormone therapy by creating customized medications in precise dosages that meet each patient’s unique needs. This can include bioidentical forms of T3, T4, or a combination, as well as different delivery methods such as capsules, liquids, or topical creams. Compounded thyroid medications are especially helpful for patients who have allergies to fillers, dyes, or preservatives found in commercial products.
