Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Your doctor is right and you have to continue this drug.
Get your thyroid function tests every 6 months and if there is any change in TSH levels, the dose of thyronorm is changed accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pavan Kumar Gupta
