Thyroid is an important endocrine gland of our body which controls a myriad of body functions. It is important to keep checking the thyroid hormone status in the blood while getting treated. Target is to achieve thyronormalcy while on treatment and continue the same dose with regular testing. Dose often needs to be adjusted according to test reports. Kindly keep regular follow up and test for thyroid fasting at 8am morning since it has diurnal variations
