You need to reduce the dose of thyroid supplement.

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query. The treatment for hashimoto's thyroiditis (ht) is taking adequate amount of levothyroxine and maintaining tsh level with in normal range. Since your tsh 0,2 mu/l (normal range 0.5 to 4.5 or 5 mu/l). It appears that 100 mcg of levothyroxine is slightly higher than required. My suggestion is please check tsh after another 6 weeks. If then level goes still lower then dosage may have to be reduced by 12.5 mcg per day. As regards high anti tpo antibodies, there is no definite treatment. However, taking selenium seems to be of help. The tablet recommended by the doctor does have selenium in it hence may be continued. However, there is no guarantee about reduction. Most important is controlling tsh around 3 to 4 mu/l. Thanks.
