Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. To treat hypothyroidism only medicine available is Levothyroxine, which she is already on. Only thing one has to do is to check if she is on adequate dosage, which is based on her weight, height, T4 and TSH levels. When hypothyroidism is well controlled TSH is maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, at that level all the symptoms are in check. Thanks.
