I'm 25 years old and undergoing medications for thyroid and pcod. NW I'm taking thyronorm 50 mg. T3 and t4 are n normal range but tsh s 13.4.prolactin is 40. My doctor don't prescribe tablets to lower prolactin level. She said due to increase in tsh level prolactin are elevated so it's not necessary to take tablets separately for this. My doubt is whether I need to take tablets to lower prolactin prob. I have started taking thyroid tablets for almost 28 days. When should I take blood test again to check my tsh level.

Recheck both tsh and prolactin after 15 days (means 45 days of starting treatment) tsh is required less than 2.5 and prolactin about 10-15.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. In hypothyroidism with high TSH prolactin level does go up. Your doctor is right in saying that once TSH is brought down to normal, prolactin will also come down. So there is no need to take any separate medication. You should examine TSH after 6 weeks to see if desired leve (3 to 4 mU/L) is achieved. At that level all the symptoms will be in check. You may check prolactin once hypothyroidism is well controlled. Thanks.
