When Standard Thyroid Medications Don't Work
If you've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease, you've likely been prescribed levothyroxine (T4). For many, it works well. But for others, symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and cold sensitivity continue—even when lab results look "normal."
That's where compounded thyroid medications can make a difference.
What Makes Compounded Thyroid Medication Different?
Compounded thyroid prescriptions are:
- Customized to your exact dose, even fractional microgram levels
- Available in T4-only, T3-only, or T3/T4 combinations
- Often free of gluten, dyes, lactose, and other fillers
- Made in capsule, liquid, or slow-release formats
- Personalized based on symptoms, labs, and provider input
This approach can offer better results for patients who don't respond to standard thyroid options.
Who Might Benefit from a Custom Thyroid Prescription?
You may be a candidate if you:
- Are still symptomatic despite "normal" labs
- Can't tolerate fillers in commercial tablets
- Need a unique T3:T4 ratio not available on the market
- Want to explore bioidentical or slow-release thyroid formats
