My tsh level is 87.5 before that I am taking thyronorm 100 but I stop taking any medicine from last 2'3 months .what mg medicine I should continue with now.

Question

Hello, thanks for the query. Madam, I have seen the details mentioned. The tsh level & dosage of levothyroxine mentioned are not so relevant today. So if you are having symptoms of hypothyroidism now, it is essential to recheck the thyroid profile and based on that the present dosage will have to be decided. It is also essential to know your current weight and height. It is also necessary for you to get lipid profile done because in hypothyroidism lipids get deranged. If you have any further questions please do come back. My suggestion is please do the necessary tests and then post the results through a private conversation so that I will be able to prescribe necessary medication. In this communication we are supposed to give only general advise, no drugs can be prescribed or recommended. Since you had pretty high tsh earlier, it is absolutely essential to restart the treatment with appropriate dosage. Another aspect is that treatment of hypothyroidism has to be taken for lifetime. It should not be discontunued. Thanks.
