Tsh levels
Hi Doctor,
My mother was prescribed neo- mercazole 20 mg twice a day when her first tsh came out to be 0.037, after 15 days of taking medicine her tsh results improved to 0.141. Now the doctor has advised to double the dose and take 40 mg twice a day. She is also advised and is taking other medicines like Cromser SP, Ciplar LA 20 mg, Retrozole DSR. So how safe is it to double the dose of mercazole as 20 mg twice a day too isn't less. Plz guide ! First reports attached.
Thanks

Hello... Whenever patients comes with thyrotoxicosis features and similar lab reports as u provided important diagnostic test is tc uptake scan to differentiate between thyroiditis and graves.. I don't really know u have done it or not... Hyperthyroidism (graves disease) should not be monitored with TSH levels.. It will take long time to get normalised.... Need to keep T3 and T4 in normal range and slowly to taper dose of NMZ.... U need to consult urgently to good endocrinologist for proper diagnosis and dose management and lot of other things.. U can do it online in this time..!!
