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 a 36 yr old female. Diagnosed with hypothyroidism with very high antibody titre. Initially prescribed with levothyroxine 50mcg, weight gain of 6 lbs per year. Had to change endocrinologist, new prescription for thyronorm 75mcg. Current weight gain is 4 kgs per month, after taking thyronorm 75 for 30 days. Also, thyronorm intake resulted in joint pain, which was not experienced during levothyroxine intake. Should I revert back to levothyroxine 50 or continue thyronorm 75? ## They are both the same medication, Levothyroxine, the Thyronorm is just a brand name for it, so the only difference is in the dosage. You are taking a higher amount of it now, which could explain the joint pain side effect. Learn more Thyronorm details here. Have you talked to your new doctor about the joint pai...

Hello, My wife had a tsh level of 7.2 in first 3 weeks of pregnancy than we started thyronorm 25 mcg we continued it and in 10 week pregnancy tsh came out to be low as 1.2 than i continued the same medicine but last 3 days back i got her tsh as 8.2 so now should i increase the dose of thyronorm to 25 mcg to 50 mcg or 100 mcg please suggest. Her delivery is due after 10 dayss only..... ## Her doctor should be making the decisions on whether or not she needs a dosage adjustment. What have they advised? Since she is pregnant, it is especially important that this be monitored and her dosage adjusted very carefully. Her doctor should be helping and this shouldn't be left up to your guesswork. No one online can make these types of decisions based on just the information in a short interne...

hello Doctor...my daughter is 3 years old and is under thyronorm medication since birth (congenital hypothyroidism).She takes 62.5 mcg of thyronorm every morning regularly. This morning she just chewed about 10-12 additional 50mcg tablets in a flash before we could realise. We immediately made her vomit things and took her to a nearby hospital who also sent a tube through her noose and cleaned her stomach. But the doctor has asked us to be at the hospital for a 24hr observation. We are worried, so looking to your suggestion on anything else we need to do. ## I am not a doctor, but keeping her at the hospital as they have instructed was likely the best idea. That way, if something happens, there is a medical team ready and waiting to help her. Learn more Thyronorm details here. How did t...

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?

Is this a name brand thyroid medicine. Must have name brand ## Hello, Sarah! How are you? Yes, Thyronorm is a name brand. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, mood swings, hair loss and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

A friend has taken 20 pills of thyronorm 25mcg out of hysteria.. What might be the repercussions? Please reply urgently. ## If you have reason to fear for the life and health of a loved one, you should contact your nearest emergency services or take them to the nearest emergency department, rather than posting online and waiting for an answer. And overdose of any medication is dangerous and risks death, organ damage and other serious health repercussions. High doses of the Levothyroxine in this creates the risk of seizures, strokes, heart palpitations and extremely high blood pressure. Even if she showed no ill effects, at the time she took them, she needs to see a doctor, because she could have done other damage to her body. How is she doing? ## I take 50mcg thyronorm daily. What if i ...

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 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?
