Thyroidology (THYROID GLAND) with Kepal Patel

1610.159 - 1629.933 Dr. Kepal Patel

What's the deal? So you're right about both of them. Most of us really prefer using levothyroxine, which is the brand name of Synthroid, but levothyroxine is the synthetic T4 hormone. And I think the reason behind that, it's easy to test. It's easy to regulate. It's a known quantity that you're giving them, the patients, so that we know exactly what the patients are getting.
