A member asked:

Took 3 synthroid (thyroxine) in 1 day by accident. went to dr three weeks later tsh 1.7. is that accurate reading considering medicine taken wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, it's fine: Hi. Don't worry about a thing. Those two extra Synthroids 3 weeks prior didn't change a thing. Keep your dose the same. Hey but if you're on coumadin (warfarin) for your A fib, try not to make that mistake with the coumadin (warfarin)! ;-)
