A member asked:
If i'm severely allergic to iodine can i take levothyroxine and synthetic t3 (liothyronine) meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: These meds are not iodine but thyroid products, if you will, that assist and make it possible for you to have normal metabolic function with an under active thyroid (not making enough on its own).
