Question

My mother is 63 years old. She was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and has been under treatment for a long time. Now she is also suffering from hyperthyroidism. Please suggest how to control it? she is taking Lenangio 20 mg, which cannot be given together with thyroid medication. For thyroid, she is taking Neo Mercazole 10 mg daily. Her TSH is 30, while T3 and T4 are normal.

In elderly patients with multiple conditions like myeloma and hyperthyroidism, close monitoring is needed. A TSH of 30 suggests underactive thyroid due to over treatment. Continue Neo Mercazole under supervision and repeat thyroid test every 4 to 6 weeks.

Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test
