Hello

Thanks for the query

Just the tsh is not enough to determine the dosage modification. Could you please attach the t 3 and t 4 values as well, I would also like to see the lab reference values because ideally tsh is considered normal Upto 5-5.6, maybe the lab you have visited has a different standardisation.

Please get back to me, I am awaiting you reply

Regards
