Thyroid medication
My son , 24 yrs old, has TSH level at 4.95. Dr prescribed T. Thyrox 12.5 mg for 30 days after which Dr will check again. My question is whether such medication Is required?
What are the reference ("normal") ranges on his T3 and T4? Ranges vary lab to lab, so they have to come from his own lab report.
How much thyroxin is he taking?
