My recent blood test shows that my TSH has increased to 281, and my T3 and T4 levels are slightly below the normal range. I have previously been taking 25 mcg of Thyronorm tablets. Should my dosage be increased, and what would be the appropriate new dose?

Have a query?

Your very high TSH level of 281 with low T3 and T4 indicates significant underactive thyroid function, so your Thyronorm (thyroxine sodium) dose will likely need to be increased substantially from 25 mcg.
If you want, I can explain how thyroid hormone replacement dosing is typically managed in more detail.
