With a diagnosis in good time, there is every reason to believe that thyroid dysfunction can be successfully treated and you will go on to enjoy good health.
Hypothyroidism can be treated with medication like Synthroid (active ingredient:  levothyroxine) or Cytomel (active ingredient: liothyronine). They are both prescription medicines used to treat the symptoms of low thyroid hormones.
For people with hyperthyroidism (elevated thyroid hormone levels), doctors can prescribe Tapazole or Mercaptizol (active ingredients: methimazole).
