She should continue. No she doesn't need to take an extra dose. Your doctor will over a period of time adjust the dose, do not do it yourself.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. Dosage of Levothyroxine is calculated on the basis of T4, TSH values and body weight, height. So unless I have all those details there is no way to answer the query. Please check present TSH & T4 levels and come back. Also inform her weight, height, thanks.
