Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 32 years old and having a kid. Currently, my TSH value is 7.19. I am using 75 mg thyroid medicine. How much dosage should I take? I am planning for another kid. Shall I plan for a pregnancy at this stage?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is important not to miss any dose. It is important to take your medication in an empty stomach and at least 45 minutes before food. It is advisable to keep thyroid-stimulating hormone TSH less than 2.5 mU/L before planning for pregnancy. Please repeat T4 and TSH after six weeks. If it is still high, then we may have to increase the dose.
