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

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
Hypothyroidism is a hormone (thyroxine) deficiency disorder, where your thyroid gland is either not producing enough thyroxine (t4) or does not produce it at all. Therefore there is a need to give daily supplementation of this hormone for life time. There is no other option at all. One can not give "injectable" thyroxine as there is none. One has to take adequate amount of levothyroxine and maintain tsh around 3 to 4 mu/l, so that all the symptoms are ...more

lybrate-user, If you are on thyroxine tablets (50 mcg), means you have hypothyroidism. It would be better if you had given total results of thyroid assay. Usually hypothyroidism leads to increased weight. Hyperthyroidism can cause weight loss. But the treatment is anti-thyroid drugs. Thanks.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
I am sure the day Thyroxine was prescribed to you all the precautions regarding taking the tablet and about food etc must have been explained to you. I am a bit surprised because of this question. Thyroxine tablet should be taken early morning on empty stomach, there after nothing should be taken for at least 1 to 1 and half hour. Plus you should avoid soy beans and soy containing foods. Other precautions include - always take whole grain flour for prep...more
