Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. If you have been diagnosed as hypothyroid, you are likely to take the medicine for life. In most of the cases. there is no correct dose for thyroxine, it needs to be titrated against your TSH and T4 values to keep them in normal range.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Minal Mohit
