Dose adjustment should only be made based on TSH levels and strictly only under doctors supervision. If her TSH is in normal range, continue same dose. If it is less than 0.5, then reduction may be considered. Please repeat a TSH test to confirm dosage requirement.

My wife has been suffering from hypothyroidism for the past two months. Her TSH increased after taking medication for a month (50 mcg Eltroxine). The doctor has suggested increasing the dosage to 100 mcg for two months before doing another blood test. She has also been advised to follow a low glycemic diet. I want to get a second opinion?
