Hello,
You need to increase the dose of thyronorm. Based on the findings of the thyroid function tests, the thyronorm dose is inadequate.
Your treating doctor should increase its dose in such a way that the TSH level should be in the optimal range of 0.4 to 4 mIU/mL 6-8 weeks after increasing the dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
