Managing hypothyroidism often seems straightforward—but the details can make all the difference.

In this episode, Rachel Cole, PharmD, shares actionable pearls for pharmacy teams, such as how to handle levothyroxine product switches, when to monitor TSH, and tips for counseling patients on adherence.  Plus, we’ll tackle common myths, explore safety concerns with desiccated thyroid extract (DTE), and review FDA’s recent alert. 

Get clear answers, practical counseling tips, and monitoring strategies you can use today.
