Check on medicine dosage

2017-06-05 13:35:21
Hello Doctor, I got diagnosed with Thyroid last October (TSH 6.62) and have been taking Thyrox 25 mcg every morning. Got the medical test done last month and the results again came on the higher side (TSH 6.5). Now would like to know, should I continue with the same medicine and its dosage or will have to change it? Thanks in advance for your help. Best, Pradeep

Hello..... Dosage of drug should not be told in online..  Dosage of levothyroxin is like 25mcg, 50mcg, 75mcg etc...  Before increase  in dose examination is required..  Complete systemic examination and based on your current symtoms doctor will  increase dosage...
