Can you tell me how long will take for thyroid medicine to work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: on the medication, and the reason it was prescribed. Meds like levothyroxine (for hypothyroid) are usually tested 1 month after starting, or changing dose to check hormone levels. Most patients will gradually feel effect before that time.
