Thyroid hormones are widely used for substitution of hypothyroidism, in some cases for supresion of TSH level. For treatment thyroxin
(tetrajodotyronin) is used in most of patients. When dejodation of thyroxine (productive of trijodothyronine) is supposed to be insuficient,
the combination of thyroxine and trijodotyronine (13 : 1) should be considered. Several new methods of treatment with thyroid hormones
are currently evaluated for clinical practice.
