A member asked:
If your tsh is low , we increase or decreased armour thyroid ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decrease: If you are on thyroid hormone replacement and your TSH is now low, it indicates the current dose is too high. You typically would decrease the armour dose at this time. I recommend not decreasing meds on your own. Talk and discuss this with your doctor please.
