Hypothyroidism
I ws first detected hypothyroid in 2015. My tsh was 17.
I was advised to take 50 mcg. Later, my Tsh result reduced to 5-7. However the last report( july) detected tsh 33.
So, as a doc. Advised i increased my dose to 150 mcg. Is it safe n good or should i continue 50 mcg?

U need increased dose now. 50mcg is not sufficient for u now so u need to take 150mcg to keep ur TSH level within normal limit.
