Hi. My tsh level is 20.68 and doctor prescribed me 100 mcg thyronorm. My height is 5 ft 6 inch and weight 70. Please advise if the dosage is correct.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. The given dosage appears to be on the higher side. It is better to start with 50 mcg, then check TSH after 6 to 8 weeks if the desired level (3 to 4 mU/L) is not reached, then increase by either 12.5 or 25 mcg. Thanks.
