thats the med he put me on... im glad to know that i dont need to be hospitalized. i have a 6 month old and that would just kinda kill me to be away from her.
thank you
You need to be on levothyroxine and monitored closely to make sure you are responding to treatment -- would see an endocrinologist. Hospitalization is not based on any particular number, but on symptoms and is usually not required.
If you are otherwise healthy and young (<60 ? ) then the dose is usually 0.7 x body weight (assuming you are not significantly over or under weight). For example, a 200 pound person would have a calculated dose of 140mcg (137mcg tablet is available).
