Hello, Thanks for the query. TSH 24.72 mU/L is too high. Shows uncontrolled hypothyroidism. To suggest the correct dosage I need to know her weight, height and age, so please come back with these details. Thanks.

We will need further details of her other medical illness and medications before proceeding further and make sure that the pills are swallowed in empty stomach.
