HelIo doctor, I have attached the thyroid profile test reports of my mother who is taking Thyronorm 50 mcg currently. I want to know what is your opinion to control the thyroid functions.
Hello. I just read your query and from what you have mentioned it appears that she is under-corrected for hypothyroidism. You must increase the dose of Thyronorm to 100 mcg once daily and repeat thyroid function test after four weeks and then we will review again and decide on whether there is any further need for dose titrations or not. Besides I would like to ask whether she takes her medications regularly early in the morning on empty stomach and then has breakfast one hour later? Secondly, is she on any other medication for any other condition? Also, does she have any gastrointestinal problem like problems with digestion, etc.? Also, please do a thyroid antibodies test as well, anti-TPO and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies.
