Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam I have seen the query. The tsh value is with in normal limits. Which means the current dosage of levothyroxine (25 mcg) is correct and has to be continued. If you reduce the dosage then tsh value will go up and t4 is likely to down. Another important aspect is that with a bmi (body mass index) is 34.4 kg/sq meter (normal < 23 kg/sq meter), which means you have an excess of almost 26 kg. That needs to be taken care of. Reducing the dosage may increase the we...more

I'm seeing a girl for a prospective matrimonial partner. She is 27 with a height of 5’3” and weight 55 kg. She reported that she has ongoing medication of thyroxine 25 mcg for subclinical thyroid. I want to know how critical is this illness. Whether it has some serious symptoms, and implications and is curable or not. Are there implications for pregnancy complications or possibility of pass it to the child?

she said her hypothyroidism was diagnosed when she had a bit of weight gain and hair fall a couple of years back with tsh levels of 8miu/l. Does tsh levels of 8miu/l indicate subclinical hypothyroidism? Some articles online suggest tsh 8mlu/l as overt hypothyroidism and not subclinical. After that doctor suggested thyroxine 25 mcg. Now her tsh is around 2.5miu/l with the medication. 

also, her mother is suffering from hypothyroidism. Is there anything to worry about? Can she live a healthy life with ongoing medication? Are there any dietary restrictions for this or does any other care need to be taken apart from the medication?

Low levels of thyroid hormone can interfere with the release of an egg from your ovary (ovulation), which impairs fertility. In addition, some of the underlying causes of hypothyroidism — such as certain autoimmune or pituitary disorders — may impair fertility.

Hello, thanks for the quey.
I have seen the query. I am sure your doctor has told you that pentaprazole needs to be taken at last 30 to 40 minutes before breakfast. So please take in that fashiom. As regards taking levothyroxine, it is better if that tablet is taken early morning say around 6 am, because it is necessary to avoid taking any food or drug for almost an hour. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details mentioned. The tsh level & dosage of levothyroxine mentioned are not so relevant today. So if you are having symptoms of hypothyroidism now, it is essential to recheck the thyroid profile and based on that the present dosage will have to be decided. It is also essential to know your current weight and height. It is also necessary for you to get lipid profile done because in hypothyroidism lipids get deranged. If you have any further...more

I think no.
Hypothyroidism may be assiciated with rhabomyolsis. Hence tab. Jupiros 40 mg tablet should be used with caution if you have hypothyroidism as this medicine may further increase the risk of muscle damage.
