Hello, Thanks for the query. Hypothyroidism is a hormone(Thyroxine, T4) deficiency disorder. Where your thyroid gland is either not producing enough or almost nil of that hormone. Since this hormone is required for multiple vital metabolic functions like maintaining body temperature, normal heart rate, skin texture, normal menstrual cycles in females, normal functioning of brain and many more. Hence it has to be made available as a supplement every day. Therefore, there is no question of stopping the dosage. The present dosage looks quite good. Continue the same. Thanks.
