Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query in HealthcareMagic,

I have gone through your query and have also viewed the attached report.

From what I have observed from your previous queries, she seems to be on 25mcg of thyronorm for over a year. Compared to her previous results, the present report shows a higher value of TSH hormone.

I would strongly advice you to consult with your treating physician and discuss about increasing the dosage of the medicines she is presently on. Our aim is to get the hormone levels to the normal range and once it is nearing the normal value, the dosage could be adjusted accordingly.

Do not delay and start on the proper dosage of medicine soon enough.

Also make it a point to repeat the thyroid profile every 3-4 months to see if the body is responding well to the medicine.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to discuss further or else kindly close and give your positive feedback,

Regards
