I am suffering from hypothyroidism. I have been taking thyronorm 25 mcg tablets. One tablet each day but my hair fall is still a lot. Should I Increase the dosage to two tablets per day? How to stop the excessive hair fall.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. You have only mentioned the dosage of Levothyroxine being taken, but there is no mention of TSH levels. Because when one takes adequate dose of that drug, TSH is maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, at which all the symptoms are well in check. Therefore, it is necessary to check that and if needed increase the dose, then check again after 6 weeks to see if desired levels are achieved. Thanks.
