Should I Continue The Same Dosage Or Reduce It? I
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.

Welcome To Ask A Doctor Service
I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
For that we need Anti TPO ab test.
If this test comes normal, then you can stop the medicine gradually, by reducing the dose slowly slowly.
So get this test done.
I hope your query is clear now.
Thanks and regards
