Australian public assessment for Thyroxine Sodium

The initial desiccated thyroid dose was based on the conversion: 1mg DTE = 1.667mcg levothyroxine. After 6 weeks of study medication, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were checked and medication adjusted to maintain TSH between 0.5 and 3.0microIU/mL. Once the TSH was within range, medication was continued for at least another 12 weeks. ................
