What clinical evaluations and treatment adjustments should be considered for a patient with hypothyroidism who is experiencing severe hair loss and progressive weight loss (current weight 37 kg) despite five months of therapy with levothyroxine (Thyronorm 25 mcg) and a persistent TSH level of 7 mIU/L?

Since your TSH is still 7 mIU/L, your current levothyroxine (Thyronorm) dose of 25 mcg may be too low and might need to be adjusted by your doctor. Additionally, progressive weight loss to 37 kg is atypical for hypothyroidism and requires careful evaluation. I highly recommend visiting your healthcare provider soon. They can discuss adjusting your levothyroxine dose and run tests to check for nutritional deficiencies, iron levels, or absorption issues that could be causing these symptoms.
