Hello, thanks for the query. Madam I am sure the doctor who has reduced the dosage must have looked all the aspects and then decided about the reduction of the dosage. Are aware about the tsh value now? Because dosage is bsaed on that and the symptomatic improvement observed. Please talk to the concerned doctor and get your doubts clarified. Appropriate dosage of levothyroxine is the only treatment for this condition. Thanks.
