A member asked:

Can taking thyroid usp (desiccated thyroid) cause extreme fatigue ? i have hypo thyroid i'm also loosing my hair terribly . and loosing my vision

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, but: it's an inferior product to BRAND NAME thyroxine replacment. You need to take enough to return your levels to normal, which may resolve your hair loss problem. The loss of vision is probably not related unless you have a pituitary problem causing your hypothyroidism. You need to discuss w/your doctor and probably an opthamologist.
