Thyrox - 12.5 Tablet Health Feed

Hello, Thanks for the query.
TSH 11.3 mU/L is too high. When one is on treatment with adequate dosage of levothyroxine, TSH should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L. 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.

When one is on treatment for Hypothyroidism with adequate dosage of Levothyroxine, then TSH is well controlled and maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, at that level all the symptoms are in check. Since your TSh level is 6.48 mU/L, there is a need for increasing the dose of thyroxine from present level to 62.5 mcg per day.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
TSH 20.12 mU/L, is too high. Isaka matalab aap ka thyroxine dosage bahut kam hai. Agar pregnancy chahati hai to TSH ko <2.5 mU/L itana hi maintain karana hoga. Thanks.

Tsh/t4 anti tpo antibodies to be done. Depending on tsh level thyroid medicine has to be consumed.

Lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. When hypothyroidism is very well controlled by maintaining TSH < 2mU/L, it is quite possible to get conception. Plus throughout the gestation it is essential to maintain TSH around 2 mU/L. That will ensure proper growth of fetus and desired outcome of pregnancy. It is necessary to check TSH every 4 weeks to see if desired level is maintained. There will be a need to increase the dosage of thyroxine by 12.5 to 25 mcg once conception occurs. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
In some cases when TSH levels do go up during the antithyroid treatment, T4 (Thyroxine) is usedm to counter hypothyroidieffects. Since the doctor has recommended the same, please do take. Thanks.

Mr ankur, hypothyroidism is condition present due to thyroid gland's improper functioning and producing less thyroxine or at times no thyroxine. Therefore, treatment is to be continued for life time. The problem passing more menstrual discharge is most like unconnected to hypothyroidism. I would suggest to take the opinion of a competent gynaecologist for that.

lybrate-user, Since no TSH value is mentioned, I have no way to comment or suggest change in dosage. Hypothyroidism is thyroxine deficiency disorder, so only option is to take thyroxine supplement on daily basis. Taking extra iodine is not going to help as your thyroid gland itself is unable to synthesise the hormone. Thanks.

Lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
Madam the current TSH level is fairly good, in fact it should ideally be between 3 to 4 mU/L. Therefore, there is no reason for changing dosage of thyroxine. Thanks.
