Based on the value shared by you, the TSH levels are slightly raised. But further evaluation is required for the medications.

For the medications, I need further evaluation like your personal and family history and your daily lifestyle.

Need not start medicine now itself.wait for 4 weeks repeat the thyroid profile and then you can think of ,as per requirement .Life long medication is not required always.sometimes for few causes thyroid hormones go out of normal range..and get back to normal with time.
Practice yoga/meditaion,physical activity.
If you are suffering from severe dullness,constipation,lag in life,lethargy,constipation ,repeat thyroid profile..A low dose may then be required.
NOT REQUIRED AS OF NOW.
please start using Drise capsule 20000 IU alternate days for 2 weeks.
