Hi! I am 27 years old i recently got diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Since March 2016 i have been taking Thyronorm 25mcg every alternative days (give a day gap). My TSH 3RD Generation level was initially 6.23 (HIGH). and ever since i have been taking thyronorm this has been balanced to 0.877. But i have been facing many other issues as follows: 1) weight loss noticed near the neck, shoulder and breast region. 2) Significant loss of volume in breasts and also they are becoming saggy. 3) Hair loss and hair thinning. 4) acne and black marks on the shoulders, breast region and also back. All this is causing me a lot of discomfort can u guide me on why this is happening is this a side effect of this drug

I am 24 yrs old. My tsh was 26 and t3/t4 was normal. My physician prescribed me 50mcg thyronorm so I have been taking it since september and am experiencing weight loss. Once I checked my tsh, t3 and t4 it was normal. Is it necessary to continue this medication for lifelong treatment? What should I do? ## You should take the medication as long as your doctor directs you to do so, it may be the only reason your levels are testing normal, now. As reported by the NIH, weight loss can be a side effect, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and hair loss. Are you on any other medications?

I am taking thyronorm 50 since 1 yrs after my first report but after that my report was normal and i am still taking that medicine so i would like to know that should i continue this medicine or not ? ## Hello, Neha! How are you? Yes, you should continue the medication, as directed by your doctor. If you do not and you have a thyroid issue, it will just start acting up, again, if you stop taking it. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hair loss and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was wondering if I could take Thyronorm 50 mcg to lose few kgs off. I do not have any thyroid problem. I have done if before but would like to make sure this time about the side effects. Please suggest. Diet is not an option at my place. ## I want to lose my weight ## No, it would not be advisable to use such a medication just for weight loss, unless your doctor has told you that it is safe for you to do so. Additionally, this medication can sometimes actually cause weight gain as a side effect in some people, so it could backfire on you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Do saal se thyronorm ki ik tablet kha rahi hun .doctor ne kaha h ki ik baar thyroid hone per puri zindgi tablet li jati h .mai 50 mg ki ik tablet daily leti hun kya ye sahi h .

wat are d side effects of thyronorm ## Thyronorm is a brand of Levothyroxine sodium that is used to treat hypothyroidism. Dosing must be carefully controlled to achieve TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) levels within the normal reference range. Long-term suppression of TSH values below normal values will frequently cause cardiac side-effects and contribute to decreases in bone mineral density (high TSH levels are also well known to contribute to osteoporosis). Patients prescribed too high a dose of levothyroxine may experience effects that mimic hyperthyroidism. Overdose can result in heart palpitations, abdominal pain, nausea, anxiousness, confusion, agitation, insomnia, weight loss, and increased appetite. Allergic reactions to the drug are characterized by symptoms such as difficulty...

i am taking thyronorm 50 mcg since last 2 years my t3 t4 tsh are in range. problem is hair loss, dryness of skin and weight gain ## I'm sorry, but there really is no solution as long as you are taking this medication. There are well known side effects of it and they tend to continue. Have you consulted your doctor? They might be able to make some suggestions to help with the dry skin. Additionally, a supplement such as Biotin, if it's safe for you to take, may help slow the hair loss. Other supplements may help, as well, such as a good multivitamin. It's hard to say, some people have good luck with them and some don't. ## From starting of hypothyroid i was taking Thyroxine Sodium Tablets IP Eltroxin 100mcg monday to friday (5 Days) prescribed by doctor.

Does a person on 25 MCG of Thyronorm often experience the side affects of weight gain and hair loss from this drug? Or...is that fairly rare? I have thin hair and weight gain already...due to my slugglish thyroid problem. I hardly want to be on medication that causes these problems to continue. ## Yes, a large percentage of people do experience them, that's why they are denoted by the name 'common side effects.' However, since it would be used to help correct your existing thyroid problem, there is a good chance it will balance out for you, rather than worse the problem. Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor?

I am 15 weeks pregnant, and my thyroid levels were a little high so my doctor prescribed me Thyroxine 25mcg. However, after taking the tablets for 2 days, my legs started aching very badly. Should I be worried and consult my doctor or will this symptom go away after some time? ## Hello, Sweety! Congratulations on the pregnancy! That's not typical with this medication, the U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, intolerance to heat, hair loss, and weight changes. So, it would be best to consult your doctor to have this checked out, to be safe. Are you on any other medications?

I am taking thyronorm 75mcg for the past 3 months. We are planning for a baby. Will this affect my pregnancy? ## Actually, it should help you. You'd have way more of a problem trying to conceive, if your Thyroid were left to continue being out of control, with its hormones, since they can affect the entire body. Just make sure that your doctor knows you are trying to conceive and let them know if you do become pregnant, that way they can monitor your condition and your medication dosage. Thyronorm contains the active ingredient Thyroxine. Common side effects that you may experience can include: nausea, drowsiness, weight gain and hair loss.
