Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In Hypothyroidism, triglyceride levels will increase. Since how long you are using eltroxin 50 mcg? It will take time to normalise triglyceride levels.
Check TSH levels after 3 months of usage. if it is not normal, then dose has to be changed upon levels of TSH.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
