Hi Since you are on treatment with thyroxine 125 mcg tablets, there is no need to do any separate testing. Just take iodinated salt. Since you already have hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland is not functioning optimally. So it hardly matters. All the needs of thyroxine are being met by supplement. You should ensure that TSH level is maintained between 3 to 4 mU/L. If that is not the case then dosage of thyroxine may have to be increased. Thanks.

Hell, Thanks for the query.
Once a person has had thyroidectomy, there will be no Thyroxine secretion in the body. Hence, that person o be put on Levothyroxine for LIFETIME. There is NO OTHER SUBSTITUTE> I did not understand what you are trying to say. Why there is a reference to insulin?

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the point mentioned in the query. Both the products contain same medication. So there is no question of one being better than the other. It is usually advised to stick to the brand which one is using. So if you are using thyrox please stick to that. What is important is to take adequate dosage and that too regularly and on empty stomach and then nothing should be taken for next 1 hour. Thanks.

thanks for the query.
Hypothyroidism is a hormone (thyroxine) deficiency disorder, where person's thyroid gland is unable to produce adequate amounts of thyroxine (t4) and triiodothyronine (t3). Both these hormones are required for most of the metabolic functions in the body and also for normal functioning of brain. Therefore, that hormone needs to be supplemented from outside and that too for lifetime. There is no cure. However, if adequate dosage of thyroxine is taken the person remains ab...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Hypothyroidism is a hormone (Thyroxine produced by Thyroid gland) deficiency disorder. Since thyroxine is required for various metabolic functions and for normal functioning of brain, it has to be supplemented daily and for life time. It is essential to maintain TSH around 3 to 4 mU/L. Thanks.

Mr Parag, Thanks for the query.
For testing TSH while on treatment, there is no need to stop or dicontinue the thyroxine tablets. The reason TSH is checked is to see the benefit of supplementation, whether the current dose is adequate enough or is there any change needed. With treatment continued, TSh should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, if the level is too low or higher than mentioned, both situations need some adjustment. Thanks.
