There is a very old medicine in the market which is safe to use during pregnancy and lactation. It's cheap and very effective. It's called diet and exercise. Try it and see the results yourself.

Hello, thanks for the query. Madam since you are on treatment for hypothyroidism, it is essential to maintain tsh around 3 to 4 mu/l, at which level all the symptoms of hypothyroidism are in check. Plus efforts to reduce weight also are likely to be fruitful. So please check the tsh level. Plus there is a need to take a restricted diet and do regular exercise for over 1 hour a day. Thanks.
