You have hypothyroidism secondary to radiation therapy to neck. It requires replacement of thyroid hormones.
Both Eltroxin and Thyronorm contain levothyroxine. Eltroxin is more expensive than thyronorm. If you do not have affordability issues I would suggest Eltroxin as I have found it to be very effective in my patients and is well known to be a quality brand.
