  • Title: Treatment for primary hypothyroidism: current approaches and future possibilities.
    Author: Chakera AJ, Pearce SH, Vaidya B.
    Journal: Drug Des Devel Ther; 2012; 6():1-11. PubMed ID: 22291465.
    Abstract:
    Primary hypothyroidism is the most common endocrine disease. Although the diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism is often considered simple, there are large numbers of people with this condition who are suboptimally treated. Even in those people with hypothyroidism who are biochemically euthyroid on levothyroxine replacement there is a significant proportion who report poorer quality of life. This review explores the historical and current treatment options for hypothyroidism, reasons for and potential solutions to suboptimal treatment, and future possibilities in the treatment of hypothyroidism.
