Hypothyroidism And The New FDA Ruling

from In Good Health · host Elizabeth Westfield, Greg Johnson, Maayan Voss de Bettancourt | AURN

The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating key body functions, but when it’s dysregulated, the typical treatment involves synthetic T4 and T3. A small number of patients still use desiccated thyroid extract derived from animals, but the FDA plans to phase it out due to safety and dosing concerns. Our experts explain why patients are still using DTE and why they’re being transitioned to other options.
