I did my thyroid test i have hypothyroidm. I am taking thyroxine of 50 mcg. Is my t4 ranging towards high range? Because last time t4 was 9.5. How to control my t4

My thyroid was 7.9 it has now reduced to 3.49 so does it means that my level is controlled? Can i reduced the dosage to 25 mcg because with 50mcg i am having hairfall.around 50 -60 hair falls daily.

    50mcg Levo is a starter dose. The an is to return you to euthyroid status. Your TSH should be 1.0 or lower and you rt3&4 should be middle to top of the range. You’d be better off raising to 75mcg to get it down to 1.0. 

    The hair fall is part of your condition., unfortunately. 

    Folate, Vit b12, Vit d, ferritin and d3 levels should be checked also as they affect your hormone intake and in turn quality of meds intake.
