Madam thanks for the query. Usually with tsh between 6 to 9.9 mu/l, it is considered as sub-clinical hypothyroidism, which is normally not treated with levothyroxine. However, if there are troublesome symptoms present then treatment may be initiated. With tsh now at 1.47 mu/l, even though it is within the normal range, it is better to reduce the dosage to 25 mcg per day and then check tsh again after 6 weeks. Ideally when on treatment it should be maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l. Thanks.

If tsh is from 5 to 10, you do not need medication, control your weight if increased and take lot of vegetables and fruits in your diet and dry fruits also. Best wishes.

Consult your Dr. for further because there is process to reduce the medicine dose. If you stop or suddenly low down then sudden raise of your tsh level again.
