It clearly states that Thyroid Medicine should not be used with any diet supplement to treat weight loss! I would find another Dr. and definetely not take it!

Doctors are allowed to prescribe medications for off-label uses, according to their own experience on what it has done for other people.

While it is not approved, nor recommended to treat weight loss, it has been used to do so and this is becoming more and more frequent.

You can read about the medication here:

Have you spoken to your doctor about your concerns, yet?

Your doctor is not prescribing levothyroid properly. He is compromising your health to accomplish weight loss which will promote his business. Go to your primary physician and make sure that your thyroid is functioning properly and that your heart and kidneys have not been affected while under the weight loss physician's care. Drugs cannot effectively do a better job than diet changes and physical exercise.
