Hypothyroidism

Treatment Online

Hypothyroidism is a condition that occurs when the thyroid produces insufficient hormone amounts. The thyroid, a small, butterfly-shaped gland located on the neck just above the collarbone. The thyroid gland produces a variety of hormones, including thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

TSH affects all of the body’s organs, tissues, and cells and, therefore, influences critical functions, including heart rate, energy levels, and metabolism. T4 and T3 are both thyroid hormones that can be found in the blood. Lab tests can confirm elevated or low thyroid levels that can indicate thyroid dysfunction.

FAQ

Yes, you can get hypothyroidism medication online through a board-certified doctor at CallonDoc.

First fill out a health questionnaire to submit your virtual consultation with a healthcare provider.  They will be able to prescribe medication and have it delivered to your home or pharmacy. CallonDoc can also provide prescriptions to refill your thyroid medication.

Effectively treating thyroid conditions online will depend on several factors, including the cause of the hypothyroidism, the patient’s age, overall health, and other medications they may be taking.

Levothyroxine is considered the best medicine for hypothyroidism as it effectively replaces the missing thyroid hormone and helps to regulate the body’s metabolism, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4).

However, some patients may require other forms of thyroid hormone replacement therapy, such as combination therapy that includes both T4 and triiodothyronine (T3), another thyroid hormone. Combination therapy may be necessary for some patients who do not respond adequately to T4 alone, but it is not generally recommended as the first-line treatment for hypothyroidism.

CallonDoc can help you with online hypothyroidism treatment through an online consultation with a thyroid doctor. Our board-certified physicians can prescribe thyroid medication to manage your hypothyroidism and issue a prescription refill for your hypothyroidism medicine.

The first-line treatment for hypothyroidism is usually synthetic thyroid hormone replacement therapy. This involves taking a daily dose of levothyroxine, a synthetic version of the hormone thyroxine (T4), which is the primary hormone produced by the thyroid gland.

The dose of levothyroxine is usually based on the patient’s age, weight, and severity of hypothyroidism. Regular blood tests are performed to monitor thyroid hormone levels and adjust the dose of levothyroxine as needed.

Hypothyroidism is a chronic condition, meaning you require lifelong treatment. However, a thyroid physician can treat hypothyroidism effectively with prescription medication, regular lab work, and proper medical care.

In some cases, hypothyroidism can be caused by a temporary condition, such as inflammation of the thyroid gland (thyroiditis) or a side effect of medication, and may go away on its own once the underlying cause is treated or the medication is stopped.

It’s important to note that if left untreated or poorly managed, thyroid problems can lead to a range of complications, including high cholesterol, heart disease, infertility, and mental health issues. Therefore, it’s essential to work closely with a healthcare provider to monitor and manage hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are two conditions that affect the thyroid gland. The main difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism is the level of thyroid hormones in the body that can be established by a thyroid test.

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones, resulting in a slower metabolism. Symptoms of hypothyroidism may include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, and depression.

Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), on the other hand, occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone, leading to a faster metabolism.

Other differences between the two conditions include their causes and condition management.
