Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The condition you are having is hypothyroidism and the treatment for that is to take adequate dosage of Levothyroxine (Eltroxine). This is because your thyroid is not producing enough of hormone Thyroxine. Anti Thyrox tablets are totally different, used to treat Hyperthyroidism, that is when Thyroid gland is producing excess of hormone thyroxine. I hope you understand. Thanks.

Lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Thyroxine is taken early morning on emty stomach. Then nothing should be taken after that for at least 1 to 1 and half hour. Albendazole is to be taken at night, plus usually it is just one tablet or at times may be repeated after a fortnight. There is absolutely no problem in taking that if needed. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
First and foremost is her Hypothyroidism has to be strictly controlled. TSH has to be maintained around 2 mU/L. Plus once if conception occurs then TSH has to be maintained through out the gestation period around the same number. It is clear that present dosage needs to be increased. You ask her to take 62.5 mcg that is add 12.5 mcg and then check TSH after 6 weeks. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
