Without taking medication, how can i lower tsh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't: A high TSH usually means the thyroid gland is not functioning well enough. The treatment is usually synthroid (thyroxine). Its a pill form of thyroid hormone. Best to see your doctor to make sure that is the problem.

Hello, My mother is 55, she got her thyroid check last week. The TSH 4 level has reduced from 12.5 (earlier)to 10.76. It has improved a little but not too much. She was taking 100mg of Thyroxine. Do we need to lower the power of the medications?
