Is 75 mcg of Thyronorm the right dose for me if my thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level is 8.7, and could this be causing my hair loss?

A TSH level of 8.7 suggests your thyroid is slightly underactive. Your dose of 75 mcg of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) is a very standard dose to help bring this level back to a healthy range. Yes, an underactive thyroid can absolutely cause hair loss, but as your hormone levels stabilize with the medication, this symptom should gradually improve. Since it takes time for the body to adjust, I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor, who will likely recheck your TSH in 6 to 8 weeks to ensure this dose is perfect for you.
