Hello, Thanks for the query. Madam hypothyroidism is a thyroxine hormone deficiency disease, hence treatment has ti be continued for lifetime. As your TSH is 1.96 mU/L, it is better to continue with the same dose. You may check TSH agai after 8 weeks and if TSH goes further low, then one can look at reducing the dose. But right now, continue the same 100 mcg per day. Thanks.
