Stop. Test. Rethink: The Thyroxine Turning Point 🔄🧠💊

  🧠💊 Stop. Test. Rethink.   A compelling new study in JAMA shows that ~26% of adults ≥60 years can safely discontinue levothyroxine, maintaining normal thyroid function—especially those on low doses (≤50 μg/day).   📉 No meaningful decline in quality of life 📊 Clear dose-response signal ⚠️ Raises concerns about lifelong overtreatment   The message is elegant: Not every prescription deserves permanence.   Time to reassess, deprescribe, and individualize—particularly in our older patients.   #Thyroid #Endocrinology #Deprescribing #Geriatrics #PrecisionMedicine
