The management of hypothyroidism focuses on ensuring that patients receive appropriate thyroid hormone replacement therapy and monitoring their response. Hormone replacement should be initiated in a low dosage, especially in the elderly and in patients prone to cardiac problems.
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Symptoms include weight gain, fatigue, constipation, depression, puffy hands, face, and feet, skin thickening, and hair thinning. Treatment for hypothyroidism includes taking medication. Common drug classes used to treat hypothyroidism are thyroxines, triiodothyronines, and thyroxine / triiodothyronine combinations.
