Asking For Sister, Female 26, Karachi

Aoa, my sister's tsh levels are 12.8. (report attached). Dr prescriped her 1 and 1/2 tablet of thyroxine 50mcg, and asked to get blood tests done after 6 weeks. I need to know: 1. Is this medicine cause weight gain? 2. Is dose correct? 3. How long it will take to set the dose?

P.S: I do not need consultation, just need guidance in this regard.
