Hello, Thanks for the query.
Tablet Neomercazole is antithyroid medication. It has to be taken for 12 to 18 months and during this period TSH levels should be checked every 3 months to know if desired improvement has occurred or not. Aap ka TSH level 2 mU/L to 3 mU/L itana ana chahiye. Plus all the symptoms, jo takalif hoti hai vo bhi kam honi chaiye. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
The t4 value mentioned (1.96 ng/ml) appears to be incorrect, because that is showing too low. In hyperthyroidism it is usually very high (> 12 ng/ml). Tsh is lower than 0.01 or 0.02 mu/l. Please check that. If you have been on treatment for just one month all the symptoms will not go away. Tsh value needs to come to around 3 to 4 mu or even a bit high. All the symptoms mentioned are seen in hyperthyroidism. The treatment needs to be taken for 18 to 24 months. In ...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Your thyroid test results are in the normal range. There is no reason to take any treatment at present. You will have to monitor the levels once is six months to see if there is any major change. At present there is no problem at all. If you have any doubts please comeback. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Usually with high anti TPO antibodies, there is lymphocyte infiltration in thyroid gland. This usually causes hypothyroidism. However, increased antibody level in Hyperthyroidism means there is a significant autoimmune process going on. There is no specific treatment directed towards reducing these antibodies. However, intake of selenium is to help in reduction. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Graves disease (hyperthyroidism) can be controlled with anti-thyroid drugs. Treatment has to continue for at least 12 to 18 months. After that if the gland function becomes normal, then treatment may be discontinued. But the condition may revert after certain time (many months or so). There is no complete cure. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Hyperthyroidism is initially treated with Anti-thyroid drugs (as being given now Neomercazole). With treatment for over 18 to 24 months, in many patients Thyroid activity returns to normal, with TSH becoming normal and T3 & T4 levels showing normal levels. If this happens then further treatment is usually not required. But some times hyperactivity does return. Then other options are considered. In some others, with stoppage of Neomercazole, within few ...more
