Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. At the age of 60 plus, with appropriate dosage of Levothyroxine TSH should be maintained around 5 mU/L. So her present level is too high. That needs an increased dosage of Levothyroxine. To calculate the dosage I need to know her height, weight and T4 levels. Then only correct dose can be calculated. Thanks.
