The dosage of levothyroxine after a thyroidectomy varies based on individual factors such as the patient's age, weight, and the extent of thyroid tissue removed. Typically, the starting dose ranges from 1.6 to 1.8 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day. However, adjustments are often necessary based on thyroid function tests, and patients should be monitored regularly to ensure optimal hormone levels. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized dosing recommendations.
