Hypothyroidism
My TSH levels on 3rd jan were 60 and prolactin levels 110. Dr started 100 mcg thyronorm.
Retest taken yesterday 23 rd jan shows tsh value 2.33 and prolactin level 51.00
My question is,is it normal for tsh to reduce so much in 20 days or whether my dosage is on higher side??
What is reason for prolactin remaining elevated even when tsh has come to normal?
Is there any other issue going on?

You have taken the correct dose for thyroid. Because you have taken the medicine for thyroid not for raised Prolactin.... Prolactin is still higher. You need to take medicine for raised Prolactin
