How Frequently Should The Thyroid Levels Be Checked For?
Hi, My function tests showed ....Free T4 is 19.4 pmol/L

Hello and thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully your concern and understood your query.
After changing the dose of levothyroxin to normalise the TSH level, you should wait 6 weeks to see the result.
If it persists to be low, reduce the dose as suggested by your treating physician.
