Should I stop thyroid medicine
Hello,
I have been under thyroid medication for past one year. I am currently taking thyronorm 50mcg. I regularly test thyroid every 6 months. Yesterday my blood report came out normal thyroid level. Should I stop medicine or continue it. Please find the report in attachment. Thankyou for your time and response.
Regards
Rooba

You can not stop thyroxine right now.
Reduce Thyroxine to 25mcg per day, check thyroid level after 2 months.
