Brief Answer:
Please check the dose of Thyronorm

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for getting back.

The blood reports are within normal limits and the same dose of medications can be continued.

Please check the dose of thyronorm, whether it is actually 1000 mg in morning?

The correct dose should be 100 mcg (micrograms) or 0.1 mg.

Best wishes,

Brief Answer:
Better to continue.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.

100 mcg is the correct dose for thyronorm.

Cabergoline should be continued, as low prolactin is good. High prolactin causes problems. After stopping cabergoline, prolactin level may go up.

Current dose is fine.

There is no need to change the dose, as below the normal level is fine for prolactin.
