Any change in thyroxine dosage???
My father started taking thyroxine 25mcg (1-0-0) when his TSH detected around 14 six months ago and continued same dosage and around 3 months ago, his TSH came down to 5.83 and continued taking the same medicine in same dosage and now his TSH is slightly increased to 6.8, so any change in dosage or what??? I want his TSH to reduce to around 2. So kindly suggest thyroxine dosage. Apart from thyroxine, any other options to reduce and manage the same??? Your genuine responses will highly be appreciated. Thanks in advance

See it's not only about the report...it's about the symptoms also.
Continue the same dose morning empty stomach.
Again get the thyroid profile checked.
T3..T4..TSH. after 15 day's.
It's not about what do you want it's about what's good and best for the patient.
Have green leafy vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seed, and legumes like peas, lentils, chickpeas, and beans.
Keep your self hydrated drink plenty of water.
Have milk and milk products.
