Your mothers thyroid report shows severe hypothyroidism. TSH is very high, and T3/T4 are low. She needs to start Levothyroxine (Thyronorm/Eltroxin), usually 25 to 50 mcg once daily, on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before breakfast. However, because of her age and multiple myeloma treatment, the dose should be started low and adjusted slowly by her doctor. Repeat TSH after 6 to 8 weeks to monitor response.

View allMy wife is pregnant with a duration of one month and twenty four days. We consulted a gynecologist and did some blood and urine tests. In the test report my wife TSH shows 10.6 which is beyond the normal range of 2 to 4.68. We called the doctor and they said to please consult with the nearest physician for TSH treatment to start, but due to lockdown the nearest physician is not available. Please suggest any medicine for TSH control? I have attached the test report. Is there any further abnormality? Please do the needful. Thank you.
