Suggest The Ideal Dosage For Synthroid
I have a TSH level of 0.04 and a t4 free level of 1.7 ....I have been on the same dose of thyroid medicine for 18 years (112mcg of levothroixin)for hypothyroid now my doctor wants to lower my dose to 100mcg of snythroid because of my TSH levels. I had a hysterectomy about 5 months ago and wonder if my levels may be off because of that? Thanks Michelle

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
There may exist no standard dosage for synthroid.When on this drug, regular controls and dose adjustments are recommended depending on response to treatment.I will suggest you take the drug as prescribed by your Doctor.Hysterectomy may not have any influence on your thyroid hormones.
Hope this will help
Best regards
