Thyroid Medicine

Asked for Female, 15 years

My 10 year old daughter is having hypothyroidism, in her last checkup her Tsh was 0.01 then dr suggested stop her thyroxin that was 25 mg so we stopped and after 2 weeks her TSH comes out 33 now dr. is saying give her 50 mg I am confused now that if her TSH level was maintained with 25 mg why 50 mg now, I don’t want to give her 50 mg as she is so young please guide me.

Dear Patient,

An endocrinologist knows best and knows how to adjust her hormones. Please don't be alarmed by high or low doses, dose adjustment is part of the whole treatment. Just like he stopped her treatment when he felt she's settled, he will taper dose again. Imbalance in hormone can be more damaging hence the high dose is being given temporarily. We wish your daughter a speedy recovery. If not satisfied take a second opinion.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Endocrinologists in Islamabad and seek in-person advice.
