Hello doctor, I had my full medical tests on 08 Aug. Everything was normal except for the TSH test, which was high at 9.56 mIU/L. I have attached my TSH test report for your reference. Could you please suggest what medications and precautions should be taken to bring it back to normal? I need to repeat my medical tests in 1 to 1.5 months, so I would like this issue to be addressed by then. Any suggestions, consultations, or prescriptions would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

A TSH of 9.56 indicates hypothyroidism. A low dose of thyroxine (e.g. 25 to 50 mcg/day) is usually started and adjusted. Recheck TSH in 6 weeks. Avoid excess soy and high-fiber food around medicine.

My TSH level has increased to 19.02. I was previously taking 25 mcg of thyroid medication. How much dose should I take now? Please suggest. I have attached my thyroid test report.

My mother in law was prescribed Thyronorm 50 mcg for hypothyroidism. Should she continue with the same medication? The latest thyroid panel report is as follows: Tri Iodothyronine Total or TT3 0.76 ng per mL, reference range 0.87 to 1.78, Thyroxine Total or TT4 10.960 ug per dL, reference range 6.09 to 12.23; Thyroid Stimulating Hormone 4.676 uIU per mL, reference range 0.34 to 5.60.
