A member asked:
What levothyroxin dosage for a tsh level of 6.89?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Levothyroxine is not dosed that way. If your TSH is high, you need levothyoxine. If you are on levothyroxine, you need more. The average dose of levothyroxine is about 125 mcg/day, but the range is broad and everyone is different.
