Board-certified Alpha providers can prescribe medication to replace the hormone that your thyroid can no longer make. Alpha providers will also be follow-up with subsequent lab tests after you start taking your thyroid hormone medication and adjust your dose as needed.
After each dose adjustment, you will have another blood test. Once you have reached the dose that is working for you, the Alpha provider will repeat the blood test once a year or when you have a change in your health, e.g., pregnancy.
