Brief Answer:
0.4-4.2

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but the normal TSH level ranges from 0.4 to 4.2 MU/L .. I would recommend that you continue on Syntroid with regular follow up on TSH level , if it doesn't decease further then you will need to increase the dose. I hope you find this helpful
