Dear Lybrateuser, - Yes, you can use thyronorm as prescribed by your doctor - the hormone level will have to be monitored regularly & the dose adjusted as per test results.

Lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. WIth your age, weight, height and TSH level, starting dose should have been around 75 mcg per day (1.6 mcg per kg of lean body mass per day= 76.6 kgs. Then TSH should be checked after 6 weeks to see if there is an expected level reached. Ideally TSH should be around 3 to 4 mU/L on good control of hypothyroidism. Starting such high dose is usually not advisable. Thanks.
