Hi,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that despite your decision, it will be necessary for checking thyroid hormone levels after a month, in order to make the proper dose adjustments if needed.

You should know that there is no way to know which will be the most appropriate dose in your case. It depends on your body metabolism.

So, you can choose to follow one of your doctor's advice and then check if everything is ok after a month.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
