Depends: It depends upon the results. If the level was low, you can be given brand name T4 replacement and lab checked to make sure the dose is appropriate. If the level was too high, you can receive radioiodine for a one time treatment or pills that you'll have to take for 18 mos and maybe lifelong. Check w/your doctor or an endocrinologist.
