@RSR2322 The dose requirement is predicted by lean body mass (1-1.6 mcg/kg), baseline TSH. Most common cause of increased dose is missed doses, intake of coffee or tea with LT4 , or other absorption inhibitors. https://t.co/4vl5Q4lMO2

@DrMcInnisDIT Non-adherence to levothyroxine is generally associated with an elevated TSH. However, if missed doses are not reported by the patient, levothyroxine dose increases can lead to a low TSH if therapy is later adhered to. https://t.co/WBDWlNUci6
