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.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Usually thyroxine is prescribed only when TSH levels go beyond 10 mU/L, or there are troublesome symptoms of hypothyroidism are present even at lower than 10 mU/L TSH. Another situation is if her Anti TPO antibodies are more than normal then also it is prescribed. At 7.19 mU/L there is no reason to recommend Thyroxine (unless above is true). Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Madam Hypothyroidism is a hormone (thyroxine) deficiency disease. Since this hormone is required for a number of vital day to day metabolic functions plus normal functioning of brain, it has to be supplemented every day because your thyroid is not producing less or nil thyroxine.
With 125 mcg of Levothyroxine, TSH has come down to 0.65 mU/L, which is with in normal range. But this does not mean that you can stop taking Thyroxine. This hormone needs to be take...more
