Hypothyrodism
Hi
I was advised to start Eltroxin 50 mcg in Jan last year after TSH was found to be 6.8 and 9.1 in two consecutive tests.
Have been taking 50 mcg for a year. Last two tests results for TSH are:
3.3 in May16
3.1 today morning
Should I continue with 50 mcg or does the dose need to be changed. Thanks.
