My wife is 30 and has a thyroid issue that's preventing her from getting surgery. The doctor said her levels need to be normal first. What medicine and dosage would help bring her thyroid levels back to normal so she can proceed with the surgery?

Thyroid meds like levothyroxine are adjusted based on TSH; dose must be set by your endocrinologist.
