Hi I was advised to start Eltroxin 50 mcg in Jan last year after TSH was found to be 6.8 and 9.1 in two consecutive tests. Have been taking 50 mcg for a year. Last two tests results for TSH are: 3.3 in May16 3.1 today morning Should I continue with 50 mcg or does the dose need to be changed. Thanks.

Get full TFT ( thyroid profile test) done. Then only, it can be decided whether to stop or take eltroxin.
Health Tips
If TSH is abnormal, go for the full thyroid profile tests, because TSH is only a screening method
