Thyroid Compounding
Thyroid hormone therapy is often highly individualized. In some cases, a healthcare provider may prescribe a compounded thyroid medication when a specific strength or formulation is needed that is not commercially available.
At Noblesville Low Cost Pharmacy, we prepare compounded thyroid prescriptions based on provider instructions and patient-specific needs.
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Common Causes of Hypothyroidism
Inflammation of the Thyroid Gland
This can lead to cell damage and decreased hormone production. Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune disorder, is a common cause.
Medical Treatments
Certain treatments may require partial or full removal of the thyroid gland, reducing hormone production.
Pituitary Gland Issues
In rare cases, the pituitary gland may fail to signal the thyroid to produce enough hormones.
Treatment Options for Hypothyroidism
The most common treatment for hypothyroidism is the daily administration of levothyroxine, a synthetic form of the T4 hormone. This medication mirrors the natural hormone produced by your body and is available in various strengths to match individual needs.
At Noblesville Pharmacy, we specialize in custom compounding solutions for thyroid imbalances, including:
• Liothyronine (T3)
• Levothyroxine (T4)
• Thyroid USP
