Can she stop or continue the medication?? Any side effects if continue or stop?? Plzzz suggest
Both the levels indicate subclinical hypothyroidism. She should get a blood test done called as anti microsomal antibodies/ anti TPO antibodies and visit a doctor specializing in thyroid disorders for a clear understanding. Currently, she should continue the treatment.
