Hello, Thanks for the query. Hypothyroidism is a hormone (Thyroxine produced by Thyroid gland) deficiency disorder. Since thyroxine is required for various metabolic functions and for normal functioning of brain, it has to be supplemented daily and for life time. It is essential to maintain TSH around 3 to 4 mU/L. Thanks.
