A TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) level of 10.26 generally indicates mild hypothyroidism, and starting with a lower dose of levothyroxine such as 50 mcg daily is usually recommended to avoid overtreatment.

🩺 Dosage Guidance

• Starting with Thyronorm 50 mcg is typically safer for a TSH around 10, allowing your body to adjust gradually.
• The exact dose depends on factors like your weight, age, heart health, and symptoms, so your doctor will tailor it.
• Your thyroid function should be rechecked after 6-8 weeks to adjust the dose if needed.

🏥 What to Do Next

• Take Thyronorm 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals for best absorption.
• Avoid antacids, calcium, or iron supplements within 4 hours of taking the medication.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and do not change the dose without medical advice.

⚠️ When to Seek Medical Advice

• If you experience symptoms like rapid heartbeat, chest pain, severe headache, or nervousness after starting treatment, contact your doctor promptly.
• Regular monitoring of thyroid function tests is important to ensure the dose is effective and safe.

Consult an endocrinologist or your prescribing doctor to confirm the appropriate starting dose and follow-up plan based on your full clinical picture.
