Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. If you are on treatment with Levothyroxine and taking adequate dose, then TSH should be maintained between 3 to 4 mU/L. At that level all the symptoms of hypothyroidism will be in check. So if the level is 6.63 mU/L, then dose needs to be increased. If you have any doubts please come in a private conversation with full thyroid test results then I will be able to advise better. Thanks.
