A member asked:
My mother fells energyless all the time she is hypothyroidism patient having body weight 67 kg. what will be the correct medicine dose for her,her age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly variable: The optimal dose is not based on weight nor age but how hypothyroid she is. Most doctors only prescribe levothyroxine (synthetic T4) but research (and clinical experience) shows most feel much better by adding T3 (liothyronine) or changing to natural thyroid. Also many doctors do not give adequate doses. See http://wp.me/p3gFbV-5b4 and http://tinyurl.com/pgvyeb8 and http://tinyurl.com/y9of975a
