Please don't worry, thyroid issues are very common and highly manageable. Because thyroid problems can mean your thyroid is either underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism), the medication depends on your specific lab results. If your thyroid is underactive, we typically prescribe a hormone replacement called levothyroxine. If it is overactive, medications like methimazole are used to reduce hormone production. The safest next step is to share your lab report with your doctor, who will determine the precise diagnosis and prescribe the correct generic medication and dosage tailored just for you.
