I'm 36 yrs, recently measured tsh of 7.5, t3 and t4 are under normal range, but previously tsh was 6.5 and doc gave me thyroxine sodium of 25 mcg. Lipid profile normal, no sugar history, bp normal, lft normal. All other things are normal. Body weight 75, height 5'8" what would be the thyroxine sodium daily intake in the morning? Now I have started taking 50 mcg daily based upon linear calculation and the above stated health data. My question is whether this dosage is correct seeing the other data factors as stated above earlier? Pls suggest, I need expert advice as well.
