Then all the symptoms related to hypothyroidism are in complete check. So you will have to increase the dosage by 12.5 mcg to (50 + 12.5 = 62.5 mcg) to 62.5 mcg per day. Plus I am sure you are aware that thyroxine tablets have to be taken on empty stomach early morning and then nothing should be taken for at least 1 to 1.and half...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
To treat hypothyroidism only available drug is Levothyroxine tablets. Hence, if you have that condition, then it may be necessary to take Thyroxine tablets. But I can only give a proper yes or know based on actual TSH value, BP reading plus some details on the heart condition. Since nothing is mentioned, it is difficult to give any opinion. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Levothyroxine tablets have to be taken early morning on empty stomach, then nothing should be taken for at least 1 to 1 and half hours. This is absolutely necessary, for helping proper absorption of thyroxine. Thanks.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
Ideally when one is on treatment with adequate dosage of Levothyroxine, TSH is maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, at which almost all the symptoms are in check.
When TSH goes <0.1 mU/L, the dosage of thyroxine needs to be properly adjusted (reduced, usually by 12.5 to 25 mcg per day). Then TSh needs to be checked after 6 weeks to see if necessary level is maintained. Thanks.
