Brief Summary  

This is a prospective, single center, open-label, non-comparative study designed to evaluate effectiveness and safety of Thyroxine Sodium in treatment naïve patients newly diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism.

The study population will include treatment naïve patients with newly diagnosed primary hypothyroidism, with TSH level >10 mIU/L and fT4 level < 0.8 ng/dl; meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria, and ready to give informed consent for study participation. Selection of patients for the study will be totally at the discretion of investigators.

At baseline severity of disease will be assessed using Zulewski scale score. Patients will be prescribed Thyroxine Sodium at a dose of 1.7mcg/kg daily for 45 days. The dose will be escalated or titrated, based on progress patient is making after receiving Thyroxine Sodium at Follow-up Visit 1 (45 days) and/or at follow-up visit 2 (90 days) based on the TSH level. All patients will be followed up to a period of 180 days, after enrollment into the study.
