Hi...I m Hypothyroid patient from last 10 years...till last year my TSH levels are normal with 100 mcg of thyronorm...today i got my TSH report which showed T3 & T4 normal but TSH shooted upto 21.14...please advise how much dose should i take from now on. Also I admit that i miss once or twice dose in a week
Yes, the TSH indicates your dose is not very right and may need an increase. If you have not missed many doses (few doses wouldn't cause a lot of difference.) I would suggest you should increase the dose and repeat TSH in 6 to 12 weeks to see and plan ahead.

Suggest Treatment For Elevated TSH Levels
Hi, Yes, the TSH indicates your dose is not very right and may need an increase. If you have not missed many doses (few doses wouldn t cause a lot of difference.) I would suggest you should increase the dose and repeat TSH in 6 to 12 weeks to see and plan ahead. Don t take Thyroxine with meals or iron, calcium supplements that may decrease its absorption. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
