Abstract
Thyroid hormones are among the most prescribed medications to patients worldwide and are commonly used to treat hypothyroidism. Thyroxine is also indicated after total thyroidectomy for Graves' disease or a multinodular goitre. In this commentary, we discuss and provide guidance for family medicine and primary care clinicians on how to navigate thyroid hormone replacement in patients after total thyroidectomy for cancer.
