Book onlineAbout underactive thyroid
Hypothyroidism means the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone, slowing the body's metabolism. Common symptoms include tiredness, weight gain, feeling cold, and low mood, though many people on stable treatment have no symptoms at all.
Treatment is a daily hormone replacement tablet, with the dose fine-tuned based on regular blood tests (TSH) — usually checked every 6-12 months once stable, or sooner after any dose change.
Online review suits an existing, formally diagnosed hypothyroidism with recent bloods on file, for prescription renewal. New symptoms, missing recent blood tests, or a first-time suspected diagnosis need a fuller in-person or video assessment.
Frequently asked questions
How recent do my blood tests need to be?
Ideally within the last 6 months — your GP needs current TSH results to safely confirm your dose is still right.
Can you change my thyroid medication dose online?
Minor, evidence-based adjustments based on recent bloods are sometimes possible — your GP will advise based on your results and symptoms.
What if I’ve never been formally diagnosed?
This service is for reviewing an existing diagnosis — a first-time suspected thyroid problem needs its own assessment and blood tests first.
Do I need to take my tablet a certain way?
Most thyroid hormone tablets work best taken consistently, often on an empty stomach — your GP or pharmacist can confirm specifics for your medication.
