Is a daily dosage of 150 mcg of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) appropriate for a 37-year-old patient weighing 73 kg who recently underwent a total thyroidectomy and right neck lymph node dissection for classical papillary thyroid carcinoma?

Asked by Female, 37 · 14 days ago

For someone of your weight (73 kg) who has undergone a thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma, a daily dose of 150 mcg of Thyronorm (levothyroxine) is very appropriate. After thyroid cancer surgery, we use slightly higher doses of levothyroxine to suppress Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), which helps prevent any cancer recurrence. Your medical team will monitor your blood levels in about 6 to 8 weeks to make sure this dosage is perfectly tailored to your needs.
