A TSH of 6.7 may require adjusting your thyroid medicine, but you should not change the dose on your own. Consult your doctor to decide whether to increase your Eltroxin dose or switch to Thyronorm safely, based on your levels and symptoms.

Consult Your Doctor:
- Switching from Eltroxin 25 mcg to Thyronorm 100 mcg is a significant dosage increase.
- Only a healthcare provider can determine the appropriate dose based on your TSH levels and symptoms.
Dose Adjustment:
- Thyroxine doses are typically adjusted gradually to avoid side effects.
- Regular monitoring of TSH levels is essential after any dose change.
Medication Brand:
- Both Eltroxin and Thyronorm contain thyroxine sodium; the brand is less important than the correct dose.
Monitoring:
- Recheck your TSH levels in 6-8 weeks after any dose adjustment to assess the effect.
Recommendation:
- Contact your endocrinologist or primary care physician to discuss your TSH results and the best course of action. Avoid making any changes to your medication on your own.
