Is it normal to reduce the tsh value from 6.33 to 0.40 after having thyronorm 50 mcg just for one month?

Yes, it is possible. You need to reduce the dose in consultation with your treating physician.

Hello, Thanks for the query. TSH 6.33 mU/L is considered as sub-clinical hypothyroidism. No treatment is advocated at this level. If a person has presence of uncontrolled symptoms even at that value, then L-thyroxine is prescribed. Clinically hypothyroidism is diagnosed when TSH goes beyond 10 mU/L. When one is put on Levothyroxine TSH does go down. Normal range is 0.5 to 5 mU/L. In short yes reduction is possible. Thanks.
