A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing 2 Levothyroxine Regimens During Ramadan Fasting in Thyroidectomized Patients
No overt thyroid dysfunction developed but there were more cases of Shypo in arm A and Shyper in arm B. Arm B achieved desirable levels of TSH (normal or slightly suppressed) in 86% of cases and might be a preferable approach, especially for patients who need TSH suppression (eg, DTC).
