There is no formula to determine the amount of thyroid hormone replacement required for a given TSH level. Some clinicians might not even treat a TSH of 5.62. The decision, starting dose, and rate of recheck and titration will depend on the patient's age, sex, medical history, digestive tract, medication compliance habits, fertility status, cardiac status, and other factors.

TSH is not a thyroid hormone - it is a pituitary hormone called Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It's job is to tell the thyroid how much thyroid hormone to produce. This is called a negative feedback system.The thyroid produces hormone.The brain reads that there is insufficient hormone in the bodyThe pituitary gland in the brain produces more TSH that turns the thyroid onMore TSH means the thyroid produces even more thyroid hormone.When there is too much thyroid hormone in the body, the pituitary turns off TSH as the body doesn't need any MORE thyroid hormone.If the brain, pituitary and thyroid are working properly, thyroid hormones T4 and T3 will be high (hypERthyroidism) when TSH is low, and thyroid hormones T4 and T3 will be low (hypOthyroidism) when TSH is high.
