Mr. lybrate-user, If STH is 18 mU/ L then adequate dose of thyroxine has to be taken to supplement the daily need, otherwiae all the symptoms will continue to be present. The exact dose of thyroxine depends on TSH, T4 level, body weight and sex of the person. By taking adequate dose one can control TSH very well. Thanks.
