Our Approach to Treating

Hypothyroidism

At NYU Langone, our doctors provide expert management of hypothyroidism, a condition that results when the thyroid gland does not produce enough of a hormone called thyroxine. This hormone helps regulate metabolism, as well as your heart rate and body temperature. Having low levels of thyroxine can make you gain weight, have trouble concentrating, and feel constantly tired.

Endocrinologists at NYU Langone and experts in our highly specialized Thyroid Program provide you with lifelong, personalized care for hypothyroidism. We are committed to helping you control symptoms as quickly as possible.

Treatment for Hypothyroidism

Most people with hypothyroidism are treated with a hormone medication called levothyroxine. It is important that you see your doctor on a regular basis to adjust the medication dosage based on any changes in your symptoms.
