What Are the Treatments for an Under Active Thyroid Gland?
An under active thyroid gland, which is called hypothyroidism or thyroid deficiency, is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces insufficient levels of thyroid hormone. The disorder is common, especially in older women, and easily treated, requiring only a simple hormone pill taken once daily, reports MayoClnic.com. People with an underactive thyroid should be checked by their doctor every 6 to 12 months, however, as the dosage required may change.
