Treatment
Timing
Duration
Preparation
L-thyroxine tablets
The L-thyroxine tablet should be
crushed, mixed with breast milk,
formula, or water and fed to the infant.
Tablets should not be mixed with soy
formulas or any preparation containing
iron (formulas or vitamins), both of
which reduce the absorption of T4.

Goal of therapy
To restore the euthyroid state
Serum FT4 level usually normalise within 1-2
weeks, and then TSH usually become normal
after 1 month of treatment.
Some infants continue to have high serum TSH
concentration (10 - 20 mU/L) despite normal
serum FT4 values due to resetting of the
pituitary-thyroid feedback threshold.
Compliance to medication has to be reassessed
and emphasised.

21
Follow up
Monitor growth parameters and
developmental assessment.
Imaging studies
If the FT4 is low and the TSH value is
elevated, permanent hypothyroidism is
confirmed and life-long L-thyroxine
therapy is needed.
