Namasthei'm 67 years old. Ten years back I was diagnosed for hypothyroidism took thyronorm but did not continue. Any siddha medicine for hypothyroidism?

Question

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the question. Madam let clarify for hypothyroidism (if well confirmed with high tsh) only medication is to take adequate dosage of levothyroxine. There is no medicine in any other alternative branch or therapy. This is because hypothyroidism occurs due to insufficient or some times nill production (synthesis) of thyroxine (t4) by our thyroid gland. Only remedy is to supplement the required quantity by taking the synthetic hormone. I hope you have understood. So please see that adequate dosage of levothyroxine is taken by you regularly for life. Tsh should be maintained around 4 to 5 at your age. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
