Vitcofol injection is safe to take for B12 supplementation in patients with hypothyroidism. It is important to maintain adequate B12 levels, especially in patients with thyroid disorders. The usual dosage for Vitcofol injection is 1 ml intramuscularly once a day for 5-10 days, followed by a maintenance dose as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm a 45-year-old guy with a pretty sedentary lifestyle since I have a desk job, and I'm dealing with hypothyroidism. My TSH is at 14, T3 is 0.8, and T4 is 5.9. I've been taking Thyronorm 25mg but not very consistently. I dont have a lot of physical symptoms, but I do feel lethargic and just can't seem to get motivated to exercise. Should I think about switching brands or adjusting the dosage? Also, is there a particular time of day that's better for taking this medication? And how often should I be getting my TSH levels checked?

My TSH level is 82.5 and I might need surgery with general anesthesia is that safe or should I be worried about my thyroid levels affecting the procedure?

A TSH level of 82.5 is significantly elevated, indicating hypothyroidism. This can increase the risk of complications during surgery and anesthesia, particularly related to heart failure, hypothermia, and electrolyte imbalances. While surgery is generally safe, it's crucial to discuss your high TSH with your surgeon and anesthesiologist to address potential risks and ensure a safe procedure.
