Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 63-year-old male. I had been taking Thyronorm 100 mcg for three months. My level of TSH was 0.02 mIU/mL. Then I changed my medication to Thyronorm 50 mcg. My current medication is tablet Gluconorm-G 1, two tablets daily. Currently, my TSH level is 2.86 mIU/mL. Kindly suggest me the correct medicine and dosage to maintain TSH level.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I suggest you to reduce the dose of tablet Thyronorm (Thyroxine) to 75 mcg. Take 25 gms of coriander leaves juice daily in the morning on empty stomach. Do relaxation exercises, and go for walks regularly.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you doctor for the reply.

After taking Thyronorm 75 mcg. The TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) value was 6.378 about a month ago. Please suggest if I should change the tablet. Can I go with tablet Thyronorm 150 mcg for three months? Regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Altered levels of TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) can lead to multiple health issues. Its increase causes lowered levels of T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). It causes a sluggish metabolism. Decrease in TSH also causes thyrotoxicosis.
