Question : Please advice with respect to the medication for Thyroid

Answered by Dr. Mirjeta Guni (32 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
About thyroid hormones results;

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
The results of the thyroid hormones you attached are within the normal ranges. Only if you are a female planning a pregnancy TSH is considered high and needs treatment ( to get pregnant and during pregnancy should be under 2.5 mui/ ml).
You did not give other information ( if you are actually under treatment or not) but if you have further questions will be a pleasure to help..
Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta

Thanks for your Reply.
There are no plannings for Pregnancy. But the main Query is with respect to the medication to be taken.

As of now taking in with Thyroxine 75mg daily empty stomach. On the day of the report no medicine was taken.

Does we need to take medicine for less dose or continue with the same doses.

Weakness remains on going on with daily routine works.

Brief Answer:
Continue with the same dose;

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
You do not need to change the dose as the hormones are withon the normal ranges.
Continue with the same and check TSH once in 6 months. The weakness may not be related to thyroid.
