Mr. lybrate-user thanks for the query.
Thyroxine hormone is a very sensitive chemical and the quantity is in micro grams. So it is absolutely essential to take it early morning around 6 am or so on empty stomach. Nothing should be taken after that for at least 1 to 1 and half hour. This has to be adhered to very strictly. Thanks.

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.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details. However, you have mentioned only tsh value, nothing about t3 & t4. It is necessary to know those values also. Tsh 4.6 mu/l is not really high. It must be with in the normal range mentioned in your lab report. In uncontrolled hypothyroidism tsh invariably goes uch higher and t4 values also may be low. Please come back with all the values also mention your weight & height. Thanks.

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.
