Brief Answer:
About levothyroxine dose;

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking
The normal range of TSH is 0.4-4.2.
A TSH higher than normal means that the dose of levothyroxine is low or you do not take it appropriately (fasting in the morning and for 1 hour nothing to eat or drink).
If you have been taking it correctly and TSh is still high, your physician will increase the dose depending on TSh.
Hope i have been helpful.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
