The treatment for hypothyroidism is generally with the hormone levothyroxine; however, obtaining the right dosage can take time, as their is a need to check and monitor your level of TSH and adjust.
Was it difficult for you to obtain the right levothyroxine dosage? How long did this take to achieve?
