A member asked:

Am having thyroxine for hyper thyroidisum from d last 6 mnths .it vil make any adverse effect in my body? having thyroxine vil make hair fall?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Thyroxine is used to treat hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism. Hair loss usually occurs before treatment for hypothyroidism, but can continue for many months, even with correct treatment of the thyroid. If your thyroid level was low, you need to stay on thyroxine to keep it normal.
