What is the appropriate Thyronorm dosage for hypothyroidism?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 31-year-old female. I have hypothyroidism, and I have been using Thyronorm 50 mcg for one year.

I have attached my latest reports. My question is, can I continue the same dosage?

Additionally, please recommend any necessary supplements and food suggestions based on the vitamin results in the report.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I saw the report that you have attached (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity).

Both total and free T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine) values are within the range. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is mildly elevated above the upper limit of the range. This is called subclinical hypothyroidism. It would help if you continued the same dose.

And kindly let me know the value of T3, T4, and TSH when you started taking this dose of medicine a year ago?

Coming to the vitamin panel, all are normal and within the range. Vitamin B is within the normal range but on the lower side of the range. So, it is better to take vitamin B complex capsules. All minerals tested is normal and within the range.

I would suggest the following:

1) Take iron-rich foods. Add lemon to your diet as it helps in the absorption of iron in the food.

2) Take a multivitamin and B complex for one month.

Take care.
