A member asked:
Dr increased my levothyroxine from 112 to 150mcg (lab results tsh =6.9 (normal .4 - 4.0& t4free 1.29 (normal .8 - 1.8) is this too much of a jump?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it's: a potentially appropriate change, although I probably would have increased to only 125 and then rechecked level before considering an increase to the 150 mcg pill if necessary. Wait at least 6 weeks and retest. You can always decrease if the level is elevated.
