Brief Answer:
You should not take levothyroxine tablet at the day you check the hormones.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome and thank you for asking!
You should not take the tablet at the day you check the thyroid hormones or you should take the blood sample 4 hours after having take levothyroxine. But the first method is more accurate.
Regarding to the results that you attached, the TSH level is high and i think that the dose needed will be higher than 50 mcg, anyway you should change it after the exams. If the TSH persists over 4 mUi/ml you should raise the dose.
Hope the information is helpful.
Feel free to ask at anytime if you have further questions.
Kind regards,
