    Lab Draw Timing While on Thyroid Medications for Accurate Results

    Recommended Lab Tests

    When first initiating treatment with thyroid medications for hypothyroidism, guidelines recommend testing thyroid function about 4-6 weeks after the start of the treatment to determine if the dose of medication is correct.

    It may be prudent to run these tests sooner and more often if the person was severely hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, or experiencing symptoms of either.

    In addition to looking out for symptoms of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, I also recommend lab testing to monitor.

    • There are three main thyroid tests I recommend to measure your response to medications:

    • TSH – This is a pituitary hormone that responds to low/high amounts of circulating thyroid hormone. In advanced cases of Hashimoto’s and primary hypothyroidism, this lab test will be elevated, (read a post about interpreting this thyroid TSH test).

      In the case of Graves’ disease, the TSH will be low. People with Hashimoto’s and central hypothyroidism may have a normal reading on this test.
