Does thyoxin have any side effects?
Patient: i am taking 150 mg thyroxin everyday morning on empty stomach,followed by after breakfast 50 mg ASA and multivitamin.On alternate days evening one roseday5 mg. This is going on for about a year now. My HDL/LDL is under control.I seemed to be loosing weight recently,and tired. What will be the side effect of thyroxin please. Doctor: Hello,  Thyroxine is a safe drug and side effects will be minimal. However, make sure that the hormone status will be within the normal range.   You can go for a thyroid function test ( TFT) and make necessary adjustments in the dose.   Hyperthyroidism (excess thyroid hormones) can cause symptoms similar in your case.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
