A raised TSH with normal T3 T4 points to subclinical hypothyroidism.62.5 mcg thyronorm is an ideal initial treatment.Get your TSH level after 2 months to compare,and adjust the dose accordingly under the supervision of your physician
Please increase your Thyronorm to 75mcg and after 6 weeks have TSH rechecked.
Basically your TSH should be less than 5.

Your reports show:
• TSH = 11.13 mIU/L
• T3 and T4 = Normal
This indicates:
Subclinical hypothyroidism
Since TSH is above 10, treatment is generally recommended even if T3/T4 are normal.
Now regarding Thyronorm 62.5 mcg (Levothyroxine):
For most adults:
• Starting dose ranges between 25–75 mcg
• 62.5 mcg is a reasonable starting dose in many cases
Whether it is appropriate depends on:
• Your age
• Weight
• Symptoms
• Cardiac history
• Whether this is new diagnosis or long-standing
If you are:
• Young (below 50)
• No heart disease
Then 62.5 mcg is generally appropriate.
If elderly or heart patient → usually start lower.
So based only on TSH 11.13:
Next Steps
✔ Continue Thyronorm 62.5 mcg daily
✔ Take on empty stomach (morning)
✔ Wait 45–60 minutes before food
✔ Avoid calcium/iron within 4 hours
Very Important:
Repeat TSH after 6–8 weeks.
Dose adjustment depends on repeat TSH:
• If TSH 0.5–3 → dose correct
• If still >5 → dose may need increase
• If
Health Tips

Dear Patient,
Your TSH is 11.13 while your T3 and T4 are within normal range. This indicates subclinical hypothyroidism (elevated TSH with normal thyroid hormones). You are currently taking Thyronorm 62.5 mg.
What you should do
- Continue the current dose if you do not have significant symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, or cold intolerance
- Your doctor may consider adjusting the dose gradually depending on symptoms, age, and other health conditions
- Recheck TSH after 6–8 weeks of dose adjustment to assess response
- Maintain regular follow-up for monitoring heart health and any side effects
When to consult me
- Persistent hypothyroid symptoms despite treatment
- Signs of over-replacement: palpitations, tremors, weight loss, heat intolerance
- Any new cardiovascular symptoms or other health concerns
