At Thyroid Virtual Clinic we are contacted by patients every day with questions or concerns about their thyroid medication. These typically include questions regarding branded vs. generic, more traditional medications vs. more “natural” alternatives, best practices for taking thyroid medication, as well as concerns over realistic expectations for medication efficacy, and how to achieve the proper/optimal dosage. With this in mind, we offer the following information to help guide thyroid patients in connection with their medication choices and regimen.
