T4 as Effective as Combination T3/T4 Therapy in Hypothyroidism
[Clinical Thyroidology Review] This article found that T4 alone was as effective as combination T3/T4 therapy in the treatment of hypothyroidism. This is the fourth recent article to come to this conclusion, according to the reviewer, Dr. Robert D. Utiger. COMMENT: this is reassuring and confirms what is typically done.
REFERENCE:
Siegmund W, Spieker K, Weike AI, Giessmann T, Modess C, Dabers T, Kirsch G, Sanger E, Engel G, Hamm AO, Nauck M, Meng W.
Replacement therapy with levothyroxine plus triiodothyronine (bioavailable molar ratio 14:1) is not superior to thyroxine alone to improve well-being and cognitive performance in hypothyroidism.
