Thyroid medication
My thyroid level was 7.56 two years ago. Started taking Thyroxin 50 mcg on doctor's advice. The thyroid level has come down to 2.5 now. I take one tablet a day on empty stomach. Should I continue to take the tablets or stop it. Is thyroid medicine life long? Please advise. I have no health issues as such.
