A member asked:

Hyperthyroid which was managed with carbimazole & stable for 3yrs. levels creeping up again (just in normal). is there any benefit to carnitine supps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hyperthyroid: Carnitine will not help. The dose of carmimazole/methimazole needed will often change over time, and the course of the hyperthyroidism can change. You may need a dose adjustment of the medicaiton. This is why many Endocrinologists recommend definitive treatment with radioactive iodine or surgery.
