A study of patients in the United Kingdom suggests widespread prescribing of the medication levothyroxine sodium to boost
thyroid function among patients with
borderline high levels of the
thyroid - stimulating hormone thyrotropin (a sign of
low thyroid function), raising the possibility of overtreatment, according to a study published by JAMA Internal Medicine, a JAMA Network publication.
Perhaps your pet's T - 4 results were a
borderline number or perhaps it was only slightly high or
low and your veterinarian is still uncertain if a true
thyroid problem exists.
