Earlier I had tsh level of 68. After 2 months of medication of eltroxin 100, the level has reached 16.22. Should I continue consuming eltroxin 100 or what should I consume?

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. When on treatment with adequate dosage of levothyroxine tsh is maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l, at which level all the symptoms are in check. Considering that present level of 16.22 mu/l is too high. Which means there is a need to increase the dosage of levothyroxine further and then check tsh after 6 weeks to see if desired change has occurred or not. Thanks.
