Start with 75 ug, check tsh after 4 weeks. If normal, continue the dose. If tsh still high, you can increase the dose to 88 ug & then recheck after 4 weeks.

Hello, thanks for the query. Madam when you are on adequate dosage of levothyroxine, tsh is maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l, at which level all the symptoms are in check. Another aspect is there should not be drastic change in dosage. Reduction or increase has to be gradual. Since now you are on 50 mcg per day, please increase it by 12.5 or 25 mcg and then check tsh after 6 weeks to see the change. If tsh is around above mentioned level, then continue the same dosage. Thanks.
