No: Florinef doesn't affect tsh. If you haven't had a thyroid lab check in a while, you can get it done to see if the synthroid (thyroxine) dose is working but you don't have to check it simply because you were recently placed on florinef. Make sure the reason why Florinef was stated is correct. See a specialist if needed.
