My wife 50 yrs is a thyroid patient for last 20 yrs. Sugar for last 2 yrs. Medication used thyroid till 2022 was thyronorm 50mg. Last year she was diagnosed for hyper thyroidism and was asked to take medication neo-mercazole 5 thrice daily in addition to sugar medicines. Few days back on regular checkup for thyroid test (serum ECLIA): T3: 1.88, T4: 0.957: TSH(ultra sensitive) is 15.5 which is alarming.. My local physicians has advised for consultation of good thyroid specialist.

Most likely high TSH level is due to neomercazole use.She may be asked to stop neomercazole and resume thyroxin with dose adjustment, preferably by an endocrinologist
