you may continue taking if you have symptoms of hypothyroidism. also if initially the tsh was very high and it is under control with the drug. u may continue taking. urimax may cause fall in bp. but as it is the drug of choice fr bph u may continue taking if u are not symptomatic like if u dont have dizziness etc.

lybrate-user. Thanks for the query. TSH 4.2 mU/L is with in the normal range. So if this is the first time tested value then there is no need for any treatment. Levothyroxine is usually prescribed when TSH is over 10 mU/l. Even for values between 6 to 9.9 mU/L there is no treatment advocated. Only in cases where there are severe troublesome symptoms of hypothyroidism presnet even at lower values (6 to 9.9) then some times treatment is given. With the value mentioned 4.2 mU/l there is NO Hypothyroidism. Thanks.
