What are the benefits of thyronorm over levothyroxine? Do the symptoms like hair fall continue even after starting medication?

They are the same, one is just a brand name and the other a generic name of the active ingredient.

And yes, hair loss is a typical side effect of this medication, as reported by the U.S. FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and weight changes.

Are you on any other medications?

I took thyronorm for 26 years and switched to Levothyroxine after coming to the United States. Can you tell me whether it’s safe to proceed with Levothyroxine or move back to thyronorm? I have noticed a change in mood swings, hair loss as well as depression frequently with Levothyroxine.
