My wife has thyroid hormone levels issue and most recently performed thyroid function profile test and got issue with tsh (thyroid stimulating hormone) which gives observed value 20.523 uiu/ml, reference range 0.35 - 5.5 uiu/ml. She used to take thyroxine sodium tablets ip (thyrox-75) earlier and she stopped taking this medicine since last 2 month and this may be the main reason for getting high level of tsh. Kindly advice for better medicine to get rid of from thyroid harmonic issues.

The most common is hypothyroidism, when the thyroid doesn't make enough thyroid hormone. Without this hormone, your metabolism slows and you may gain weight, feel sluggish and tired, and get depressed. Your periods may become irregular and you may have dry skin and nails. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.
