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.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Hypothyroidism is a hormone (Thyroxine T4) deficiency disorder. Which means your thyroid gland is not producing enough or nil of that hormone. This is a very vital hormone required for a multiple metabolic functions in the body including normal functioning of brain. So we need to supplement it from outside. This has to be done for lifetime. There is NO OTHER MEDICINE. I hope you understand. Thanks.

Krutujaji, Thanks for the query.
If on treatment then TSH should be maintained between 3 to 4 mU/L to be free fro all the symptoms of hypothyroidism.Since your TSH is 13 mU/L, it shows that hypothyroidism is not controlled at all. This means thyroxine dosage has to increase from the present one. Then after tstarting the increased dose, TSH should be checked after 6 weeks to see if there is necessary change. Thanks

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
When on treatment ideally TSH should be maintained < 3 mU/L. Hence current dose of 125 mcg is fine. It should be continued. To be free from all the symptoms of hypothyroidism it is essential to maintain TSH < 3 mu/L. Once well stabilised you can check TSH one in 6 months to a year. But do not make frequent changes in Thyroxine dosage. Thanks.

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
Madam please understand the condition hypothyroidism occurs when one's thyroid gland is not able to synthesise adequate amount of thyroxine (t4 hormone). This hormone is required for most of the metabolic activities in our body. If it is not available in adequate quantities then tsh level goes up, plus patient develops a number of symptoms like weight gain, slow hear rate, tiredness, early fatigue, menstrual problems, dry skin, dry hair, hair fall, anxi...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam hypothyroidism is a hormone (thyroxine, produced by thyroid gland), deficiency disorder. This hormone is required for multiple metabolic functions in the body and for normal functioning of brain. Hence needs to be supplemented every day. With treatment tsh should be maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l. At which level most of the symptoms are in check. You can not stop the treatment, as it has to be a lifelong one. Thanks.

Both are thyroxine hormone preparation, manufactured by two different companies. No one is better, both are good. Continue whichever you are taking. No need to change it.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. Usually hypothyroidism seen during pregnancy goes away after delivery. Therefore if TSH is normal after few weeks of pregnancy then there is no need to take thyroxine tablets. TSH should be with in the specified range. Thanks.

Hello, at 0.19 milli units/l, is just below the lower limit. If the patient is feeling fine, there are no specific complaints then there is no need to do anything. However, if there are any symptoms suggesting hyperthyroid activity, then there may be a need to redcue the dose of thyroxine, by about 12.5 mcg per day. Then check tsh levels after 6 weeks. Thanks for the question.
