ABSTRACT
Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disease.Its treatment depends on thyroid hormone replacement therapy.Currently,levothyroxine (L-T4) is the preparation recommended by many guidelines.However,there are some L-T4-treated patients with normal TSH levels and persistent non-specific symptoms and discomforts.Therefore,combination therapy with L-T4and liothyronine (L-T3) has been considered as an alternative option for hypothyroidism.However,more prospective studies are needed to provide evidence-based effects for this kind of regimen.
