It have to be taken on empty stomach so start now. Other option you can go for HOMOEOPATHY with it first you can tapper off dose afterwards drugs can be stopped. Also you have to do antibodies test and take care of diet in which avoid cabbage, cauliflower, soyabean.. In hypothyroidism mainly take care of calcium levels you can consult me for HOMOEOPATHY.

Hello, Thanks for the query. Madam, did you consult an Endocrinologist or a General Practitioner? Because with TSH 4.91 mU/L, you are not having any problem at all. Unless you also tested Anti TPO antibodies and those are very high. Otherwise there is no need for any treatment. TSH between 6 to 9.9 mU/L is considered as subclinical hypothyroidism and no treatment is advocated. Only when TSH goes above 10 mU/L and there are troublesome symptoms associated with hypothyroidism are present then only treatment is given. If you have any questions please do come back. Another important aspect is a lady is desiring to have a pregnancy the TSH should be maintained <2.5mU/L, then one may need treatment. Thanks.
