Lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. Madam please tell me when TSH was 5.4 mU/L, who suggested the treatment with Methimazole? Because that drug is given only when TSH is very low say- 0.01 mU/L. The drug you are taking is known as antithyroid drug, which will reduce formation (synthesis) of hormone thyroxine (T4) by the gland. It is given only in conditions like Thyrotoxicosis and hyperthyroidism. Please let me know following details: T3, T4 & TSH levels when treatment was advised. Present T3 & T4 levels, what were the symptoms when the doctor was consulted? It is better if you come in a private conversation (paid consultation) then I will be able to give specific advice and also prescribe necessary medication. In this communication we are supposed to give only positive guidelines, no drugs can be advised or prescribed. I await your response. When thyroid function goes down (high TSH) then it affects the lipids also. Thanks.
