Brief Answer:
PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
I think your query is incorrect.
You must be having hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism.
That is why you are taking Thyroid hormone supplement - Thyronorm.
What is your latest TSH level ?
WHat is your height and weight ?
Please write back with these details so that I can guide you accordingly.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
PROBABLY NOT TAKING IT PROPERLY ?
Detailed Answer:
Well, the TSH level is still high, inspite of taking Thyronorm 50 Micrograms daily.
Since when are you taking Thyronorm ?
Also, are you taking it properly?
One tablet has to be taken daily on an empty stomach, that means, nothing ( no water or tea or food ) has to be taken for atleast half an hour before taking the tablet.
Also, the bottle has to be stored away from direct light, in a cool place.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
WHEN WAS TSH TESTING DONE
Detailed Answer:
If you miss tablets for 20 days, then the TSH levels would be erratic.
You definitely should not miss the tablets even for a single day, as it is essential to control thyroid levels.
Please let me know when was this TSH measured ?
