Hello,
Your TSH levels are high. It is suggestive of a hypothyroid state despite being on thyroid supplements. It indicates that you must increase your Thryocare dosage.
The side effects occur primarily if you have a higher dose of the medication than required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Pranav Balakrishnan, General & Family Physician
