Levothyroxine prescriptions trends may indicate a downtrend in prescribing.

Published in: Therapeutic advances in endocrinology and metabolism (2020)

Taken together, these data suggest that there may be a stabilization, and even a down-trend in levothyroxine prescribing with the MedStar system. The decrease in levothyroxine prescribing appears to be accounted for by less use of levothyroxine without an established diagnosis of hypothyroidism, and less initiation of new prescriptions.
