HYPOTHYROIDISM DISEASE OVERVIEW • Thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone to meet body’s need • Typical treatment consists of synthetic prohormone thyroxine (T4) given orally once a day, which is converted by the body to the active triiodothyronine (T3) • Oral T3 treatment is effective, but comes with potential side effects caused by blood level fluctuations • ProNeura platform has potential to deliver continuous, non - fluctuating levels of T3 and provide a stable blood level for several months following a single treatment 18
