Hello

The current TSH level is normal , it does not mean to stop the thyroid medication as that will raise the TSH level again due to lack of thyroid functioning via hypothyroid status of your thyroid gland. Kindly restart your medication after dosage confirmation with your treating physician or endocrinologist.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
