On 75mcg Levothyroxine

On Levothyroxine dose should be slowly increased until TSH is low - usually around 1

TSH over 2 suggests you need dose increase in Levothyroxine

ALWAYS test thyroid levels early morning, ideally before 9am, only drinking water between waking and test and last dose Levothyroxine 24 hours before test

ESSENTIAL to get vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin levels tested too

If been left on too low a dose of Levothyroxine then vitamin levels highly likely very low

Please add range on Ft4 result

Big thank you S/D. ferritin 75 ug/L is that good or not so good??

It’s ok/good

We recommend Ferritin is minimum 70

If your CRP test is high…..test for inflammation then ferritin can be high because of inflammation……but iron could be low

If suspect this then get full iron panel

Test early morning, only water to drink between waking and test. Avoid high iron rich dinner night before test

If taking any iron supplements stop 5-7 days before testing

Medichecks iron panel test
