HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best to consult your doctor before adjusting any medication since the medication would have been lowered based on her blood test results.
The actalin is a herbal supplement that is meant to help with thyroid function but cannot replace normal thyroid replacement medication.
I hope this helps
