Hello, Thanks for the query.
Since you are already on treatment with Thyroxine tablets (50 mcg/d), you will have to look at the TSH level, it should be maintained <3 mU/L to be free from all the symptoms. I can definitely guide you in controlling the condition effectively and be free from all the problems. If you come in a private conversation with following details: T4, T3 & TSH levels, weight and height, current dietary pattern and extent of daily exercise, then I will be able to guide spe...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
For treating hypothyroidism the only therapy is to take adequate dosage of Levothyroxine and bring TSH level to around 3 to 4 mU/L. Since it is a hormone (Thyroxine) deficiency disorder, only supplementation of that hormone in the form of Levothyroxine is the treatment. Both Ayurveda and Homeopathy have no other treatment. Even though a lot of claims are made about treating or curing the condition. Thanks.

Ingested thyroxine, which is itself probably of modest physiologic significance, is rapidly partially converted to triiodothyronine (t3), the active form of thyroid hormone. Both thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels in serum rise within 1-2 hours of ingestion. Agents that inhibit t4>t3 conversion provide one approach to treatment. In children and adolescents, the clinical course is often very mild. Patients in this age range may ingest a full flask of lt4 with 90-100 tablets (100 or 150 mcg/tab...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Please tell me whether yu have been always overweight or obese?(BMI 30.06 kgs/M2). If weight increase has occured recently then it could be a problem due to sluggish thyroid functioning. In that situation you may need to take Thyroxine. Then that will help in bringing down TSH <3 mU/L and help weight reduction. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
With TSh 8.4 mU/L there is no need for starting the medication. Because up to 9.9 mU/L the condition is considered as Sub-clinical. In that situation no treatment is advocated. However, if one has presence of troublesome symptoms then in some cases even with lower than 10 mU/L TSH, thyroxine is prescribed.
Since there is no mention of any symptoms in your communication, I just stated the facts. Another point to consider for starting treatment even ...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
TSH 6.33 mU/L is considered as sub-clinical hypothyroidism. No treatment is advocated at this level. If a person has presence of uncontrolled symptoms even at that value, then L-thyroxine is prescribed.
Clinically hypothyroidism is diagnosed when TSH goes beyond 10 mU/L.
When one is put on Levothyroxine TSH does go down. Normal range is 0.5 to 5 mU/L. In short yes reduction is possible. Thanks.
