Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking on HealthcareMagic !

Other than levothyroxine, T3 hormone is the other available variant to treat hypothyroidism.

Especially when levothyroxine is ineffective in improving the symptoms and reverse T3 is confirmed.

So, you may discuss with your treating physician about this variant.

Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
