[Once weekly L-thyroxine treatment in non-compliance: A case report].

CONCLUSION: The strategy of non-adherence treatment in hypothyroidism is well defined with oral testing of L-thyroxine, followed by oral or parenteral weekly administration of the drug. The L-thyroxine oral test is the gold standard for diagnosis after eliminating of the other conventional causes: drug interactions or digestive malabsorption. L-thyroxine treatment should be discussed on a case-by-case basis, either daily under surveillance or once weekly oral or parenteral high dose. PMID: 28688760 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
