I'm a bit concerned because my TSH level came back at 7.5 and my doctor advised me to take Thyronorm 12.5. Is this the right approach for my condition? Also, I'm a little confused about whether this means I have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Could you help clarify this for me?
Based on your TSH level of 7.5, the doctor's prescription of Thyronorm 12.5 tablets is appropriate. This medication is used to treat Hypothyroidism, which is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Thyronorm helps to supplement the low levels of thyroid hormone in your body. The dosage of Thyronorm 12.5 tablets is suitable for managing your hypothyroidism
