Question 1

My mother is 60 years old and has been taking Eltroxin 75 mcg for the past two months, as her TSH was 5.00 at that time. Prior to that, she had been taking Eltroxin 50 mcg for the last ten years. She recently had a thyroid test and the results are:
T3: 0.90 ng/mL
T4: 9.30 microgram/dL
TSH: 16.23 mIU/L
I do not understand why her TSH has increased so significantly despite taking her medication regularly. Please advise what steps we should take now.

Question 2

A female patient aged 22 years is in the second trimester and her T3 is 1.90 and T4 is 16. I have attached the lab report also. What is the treatment and is Thyronorm 25 mcg okay or should the dose be increased? Kindly help. Thanks in advance.

Question 3

Hello Doctor, I am Sharmila, 25 years old. During my pregnancy, I had thyroid issues, and my doctor prescribed 50 mcg thyroid tablets. After delivery, I had my thyroid levels checked, and they have reduced. Should I continue taking the tablets, or can I stop them? I have attached my latest thyroid profile for your reference. Please advise

Even if stable, annual thyroid function tests are necessary. Values last year were fine but need update. Please take a thyroid profile now.
