I am taking thyronorm 25 mcg. My tsh value was 3.9 when last tested. Can I reduce the thyronorm dosage.

Hello, thanks for the query. Madam I have seen the query. The tsh value is with in normal limits. Which means the current dosage of levothyroxine (25 mcg) is correct and has to be continued. If you reduce the dosage then tsh value will go up and t4 is likely to down. Another important aspect is that with a bmi (body mass index) is 34.4 kg/sq meter (normal < 23 kg/sq meter), which means you have an excess of almost 26 kg. That needs to be taken care of. Reducing the dosage may increase the weight further. Thanks.

Continue same dose. Repeat tsh after 4-6 weeks.
