you might need to increase the dose.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX hi!
welcome to HC. i m dr. XXXXXXX here.
As you have reported, you have hypothyroidism, u are on thyronorm 75mcg since 1.5 years, doing good stable dose.
now as TSH has started going up again, the possibilities are-
1. missed doses
2. food tab gap not maintained as desired.
3. weight gained
4. tablets got old , damaged.
if none of these is the case then we need to increase the dose to 100 mcg. Pl talk to your doctor about this change.
