Is it likely to have ft4 increase 6.0 on an 25 mcg levo increase?

Hi,

On every other dose increase of 25mcg I have gotten an increase in my ft4 of 1-2 points. The time they gave me Teva for 6 weeks I suddenly got an increase of 6.0. Is this normal or what increase in ft4 did you get on an increase of 25mcg levo?

Emits,

It seems quite an increase. Is your FT4 still within range?

Yes, it is. I'm not on the Teva any more because I got some side effects. One being terrible pain in my legs.

Emits,

You'll need to retest 6-8 weeks after changing from Teva. Please report the adverse effects you had on Teva via yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/

Thank you for your reply. I've changed from Teva in January.
