lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. To control hypothyroidism effectively and over come all the symptoms it is necessary to maintain TSH around 3 to 4 mU/L. So please check the level, if it is still higher than mentioned above, means the present treatment is inadequate. That needs to be upgraded. Please mention your height correctly to calculate appropriate dosage. (5.1 cms is not correct). Plus you need to take the tablet on empty stomach early morning then nothing should be taken for next 1 to 1 and half hours. I hope you are following this. Plus all other precautions. Thanks.
