Best medicine for increased TSH levels after radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of tongue
Patient: I had gone through Radiotherapy after surgery of tongue for squamous cell carcinoma about 20 months ago, Now I my TSH level has gone up and it is  7.69, I have been advised Eltroxin 50 . OD. Another doctor has advised Thyronorm 50 OD.. Could you guide me which is a better medicine. YYYY@YYYY Doctor: You have hypothyroidism secondary to radiation therapy to neck. It requires replacement of thyroid hormones. Both Eltroxin and Thyronorm contain levothyroxine. Eltroxin is more expensive than thyronorm. If you do not have affordability issues I would suggest Eltroxin as I have found it to be very effective in my patients and is well known to be a quality brand.
