Mr. Lybrate-user, hypothyroidism is a hormone deficiency disorder, where the thyroid gland does not produce adequate amount of thyroxine. Thyroxine is is required for day to day development and functioning of brain, plus it is involved in multiple metabolic reactions of the body. So it has to be supplemented daily. Hence, thyroxine tablets have to be taken daily, dose will depend upon body weight, tsh and t4 levels. Treatment is for lifetime. Otherwise there can be serious consequences. Along with thyroxine you will also have to exercise daily for about 1 hour or more, take a balanced diet. Thanks.
