Frequently Asked Questions

How is the dose adjusted after starting?

TSH is typically rechecked 6 to 8 weeks after starting or changing the dose, and the dose adjusted based on the result.

Why is a lower starting dose used for older adults or heart disease?

Starting too high can strain the heart, so a conservative starting dose (commonly 25 mcg) is titrated up slowly instead.

Is this a substitute for medical advice?

This tool is for educational reference only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always confirm dosing with a doctor or pharmacist before giving or taking any medication.
