Should I Continue The Same Dosage Or Reduce It? I

Posted on Thu, 23 Jun 2022

Question: Should I continue the same dosage or reduce it?

I am on Thyronorm 75 for the last three years.

I had an episode of Thyroiditis (Hashimoto Thyroiditis) in Dec 2018 where my TSH levels dropped to zero, remained like that for about one month and then became very high.

I started Thyronorm 75 based on a consultation with an endocrinologist after TSH levels became high.
The TSH and T3, T4 levels became normal after few months.

I got test done recently and the results are normal now. I want to check if i could reduce the dosage of Thyronorm.

Brief Answer:
Your Thyroid profile is normal because of thyronorm, don't change dosage.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX

Welcome to Ask A Doctor Service.

I have reviewed the attached report, T3, T4 and TSH are in the normal range because your doctor has advised you to take the correct dosage of Thyroid hormone (Thyronorm).

You should not reduce the dosage of thyronorm, if you do that, thyroid hormone level in your body will go down as the dosage will not be sufficient.

I hope that answers your query.

Best wishes
