Question: How is anemia and an under-active thyroid gland treated!?
Answers:
I know injections or sublingual B12 is given to treat anemia, and well as iron supplements and/or eat foods high in iron!. For an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), most people are given Synthroid (levothyroxine) to replace the low production of the thyroid hormone!. The amount to take will require blood tests about every 4 to 6 weeks until your thyroid hormone level is within the normal range!. Then thyroid blood tests about every 6 months to a year thereafter!. Hundreds of thousands of people probably have hypothyroidism but don't know it and aren't being treated for it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
