Thyrox 50mg
Namaste,
I am consuming Thyrox 50mg for the last two years. I used to check blood in every 6 months. Actually, how frequently should I do my blood test for thyroid? What's the required frequency?

Every 6 months TSH should be checked.
If dose is changed then 6-8 weeks after dose change.

You can check it once every 6 months.
That should be enough
Take care.

Once you have become Euthyroid, mean your thyroid levels are in normal range. Continue with the set dose and repeat TSH once in 6-8 months.
Next Steps
Dont skip thyroxin dose even on days when you are ill or not keeping well.
