lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. When on treatment ideally TSH should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, to be free from all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. So if the TSH level is 5.4 mU/L, then there is a need for increasing the dose by about 12.5 mcg and check TSH after 6 to 8 weeks to see if the desired level is reached. Thanks.
