Hello, Thanks for the query.
For hyperthyroidism the doctor has prescribed the correct medication. Only dosage may have to be adjusted. TSH should come up to 3 to 4 mU/L, at which all the symptoms will be in check. There is no other medication. TSH needs to be checked more often say once in 6 to 8 weeks. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
With 10 mg twice a day of Carbimazole, your TSH is still very low. Please tell me since how long this dosage is being taken? Because it takes over 6 to 8 weeks to show effect on TSH levels.
Usually treatment is continued for 12 to 18 months. In some cases up to 24 months. If thyroid levels become normal and TSH comes up, then treatment is discontinued. In some cases hyperthyroidism does not come back. But if it comes back, then other alternatives are con...more
