If your current TSH level is still high despite taking levothyroxine 100mcg for the past 6 months, it may indicate that your thyroid hormone replacement therapy needs adjustment. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider, preferably an endocrinologist, who can review your specific case and make appropriate recommendations.
Here are some general considerations:
1. Dosage adjustment: Your healthcare provider may need to adjust your levothyroxine dosage based on your TSH levels and other factors. It's important to follow their guidance and have regular follow-up appointments to monitor your thyroid function.
2. Compliance: Ensure that you are taking your levothyroxine medication as prescribed and at the recommended time. Consistency in taking the medication is crucial for its effectiveness.
3. Timing of medication: Levothyroxine is typically taken on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before breakfast or any other medications or supplements. This helps optimize its absorption.
4. Other treatment options: In some cases, alternative treatment options such as combination therapy or different formulations of thyroid hormone replacement may be considered. However, the decision to explore other options will depend on your specific situation and should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
Remember, you can consult with me for personalized advice based on your specific thyroid condition and medical history. I will be able to provide the most appropriate guidance and treatment options for you.
